Stokes claimed the last three wickets in the space of 14 deliveries with 8.2 overs remaining in the second match at Cape Town as the visitors levelled the series.
That added to his aggregate of six catches and 119 runs across both innings.
England's triumph was a timely advert for the sport's longest format, the future of which has been the subject of debate lately.
Stokes has also thanked their support base after a tour littered with injuries and illness.
