Brandon King scored an imperious half-century to inspire the West Indies to an impressive 28-run win over South Africa in their T20 International match at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica, on Thursday.

In reply, South Africa hobbled their way to 147 in 19.5 overs.King, who has been away from the West Indies side due to injury, made a triumphant return to international cricket.

King's approach allowed Mayers, who did not get a playing opportunity with his side, the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL, time to settle down and collect his bearings.However, when he was dismissed 3.4 overs later, he had accelerated to a handy 34 off 25 balls.They scored 40 runs in the next 6.3 overs. In that period, Roston Chase kept one end intact with a procession of wickets at the other.

He showed his full range of shots as he batted his way to a career-best T20I score of 87 off 51 -- his 15th T20I half-century.When he was not scoring runs, Hendricks watched wickets tumble at the other end. After failing to make a connection with the ball several times, Andile Phehlukwayo flat-batted an Obed McCoy delivery straight to Matthew Forde at deep mid-wicket.
