• The world’s number-one ranked T20 bowler Tabraiz Shamsi continued his fine form as he inspired the Proteas’ one-run victory on Tuesday.
• Shamsi was at his economical best, taking 2 for 13 against the West Indies in the fourth T20.
• Speaking to reporters following the win, Shamsi admitted to having done his homework on his opponents in the Caribbean.

Proteas spinner Tabraiz Shamsi said he had researched the West Indies as he inspired South Africa’s narrow win in the third T20 on Tuesday.
Defending a total of 167 in St George’s, the Proteas restricted the home side to 166-7 after an inspiring spell from Shamsi and some good death bowling.
Shamsi controlled the middle overs of the Windies chase by bowling an economical four-over spell, conceding just 13 runs for the key wickets of Evin Lewis (27) and Shimron Hetmyer (17).
Fast bowlers Anrich Nortje (2/29), Lungi Ngidi (1/23), Kagiso Rabada (1/41) and spinner George Linde (1/33) all contributed as the West Indies power-hitters stuttered. 
Rabada had 15 runs to defend in the final over. Fabian Allen (14*) struck an early boundary and then a six off the last ball, but the home side fell one run short.
Shamsi, who scooped the Player of the Match accolade, insists he isn’t taking the two-time T20 World Cup champions lightly.
“We’re playing against a strong West Indian team, these guys play T20 cricket for a living. So I’m definitely not taking them lightly,” Shamsi told reporters following Tuesday’s win.
“The amount of experience they have is vast, probably way more than our team. Definitely not taking anything easy, just trying to land the ball in the right areas and luckily, it’s working for me so far.”
The 31-year-old has used his vast experience in the Caribbean, having done multiple stints for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots at the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
In this ongoing five-match T20 series, Shamsi has produced figures of 1/27, 1/16 and now 2/13 in Grenada.
Shamsi, the number-one ranked T20I bowler, has revealed that many hours of studying the opposition has helped him.
“I like to do a lot of homework… I like to look at a lot of footage and spend a lot of time watching whether I bowl well or badly. I see how the guys played me or if I bowled well… what things I’ve done,” said the Proteas left-arm wrist spinner.
“That’s just my way to stay one step ahead of the batsman but having said that T20 is a different beast. Preparation is something I never shy [away from] behind the scenes but none of our other bowlers as well…”
The Proteas lead the five-match T20 series 2-1 and Shamsi insists the team will only improve as time goes on.
“As a team, we are learning, we don’t have a lot of experience playing together and the more we play, the more we get better,” he said.
“I believe that our bowling unit is up there in terms of skill, we just need to play together and gain that experience and once you play more, you will get into a rhythm.
“We’re 2-1 up, we’re definitely happy and will be hoping to push for a series win.”
The fourth T20 is scheduled for Thursday at 20:00 SA time.
