Watch: Ben Stokes play incredible reverse flick in 3rd T20I vs SA

As England pulled off a record chase of 223 against South Africa in the third and final T20I at SuperSport Park to seal the series 2-1, the English all-rounder Ben Stokes played an outrageous reverse flick of a yorker of Lungi Ngidi that shook everyone.

Unbelievable Stokes

Stokes played this highly unorthodox shot during the last ball of the sixteenth over. Lungi Ngidi was at the receiving end. That was not at all a bad ball but Stokes was just too good to reverse flick it to the boundary. It was a very low full toss on middle and leg. He initially looked to scoop but then he saw the length of the ball and corrects his shot. He reverse paddles it over short third man for a boundary.

Stokes made 22 runs of 12 balls before falling to Lungi Ngidi trying to cover the boundary ropes again.

Morgan to the rescue

England Skipper Eoin Morgan smacked a quick fire  57 off just 22 balls, leading England to their second highest chase in T20Is and the fourth highest of all-time with five balls remaining.

Morgan smashed seven sixes to take his side over the line after Jos Buttler (57) and Jonny Bairstow (64) also hit half-centuries and made a strong partnership.

Klaasen shows his class

In the first innings Henrich Klaasen who replaced Smutts guided the Proteas to a competitive total with a 33-ball 66 after the hosts got off to a flier, but England’s big-hitting always kept them in the chase.

With 53 runs needed from the last four overs, Morgan, with the help of Ben Stokes (22 off 12), took full control of the game. Even though Stokes was caught on the first ball of the penultimate over, Morgan hit back-to-back sixes before Moeen Ali sealed the win with a boundary.
