    In the 15th over, the Proteas wicketkeeper-batsman smashed Jessy Singh for three sixes

    But that total proved not to be nearly enough as MI New York captain Nicholas Pooran smashed an unbeaten 137 off 55 deliveries (10 fours, 13 sixes) to help his team claim a convincing victory with four overs remaining.

    Dewald Brevis made 20 off 18 balls before being run out.
