The tour consisted of three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), three Test matches and five One Day Internationals (ODIs). With South Africa's 2–0 win in the Test series, they retained the number one position in the Test rankings.[1]

In the second Twenty20 International, the West Indies set a new world record for the highest successful run chase in a T20I match.[2] In the second ODI, AB de Villiers set the record for the fastest fifty (16 balls) and the fastest hundred (31 balls) in ODI history. South Africa's score of 439/2 in that game is their highest in the 50-over format.[3][4] South Africa won the ODI series 4–1.
