... The Run Chase ...

The spinner from South Africa, Tabraiz Shamsi is up for a quick chat and says that it was nice to play against the home team in front of a packed crowd and he was happy to contribute today. Adds that there are no set patterns in their bowling attack and they take it as it goes. Mentions that the surface is decent and there is a bit of turn but the ball seems to be coming onto the bat nicely and hopefully, there is a bit of dew as well in the next half. Adds that he isn't sure about whether Ma

The bowling from South Africa was lethal. The bowlers were well-disciplined and kept on delivering on those nagging lines and lengths that troubled the batters throughout their innings. The spinners inflicted the most damage as the trio of Aiden Markram, Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj took 5 wickets for 79 in their 12 overs. Kagiso Rabada was introduced in the 18th over yet he managed to pick up a wicket as well. Marco Jansen took one too. The target isn't that big but it is a tricky one

After being asked to bat first, the batters of West Indies struggled to score freely and were pinned back to the wall with early blows. The side lost Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran early on in the powerplay. Roston Chase along with Kyle Mayers knitted a solid partnership of 81 runs for the third wicket and laid a perfect platform for the batters down the the order. The side though lost its way post-drinks as they lost 8 wickets and added just 66 runs in the last 10 overs. Andre Russell lo

Time for a drinks break. The game is hanging right in the balance at this point. West Indies have got a solid start to launch from in the second half of their innings while the Proteas would be happy to cut short the boundary deliveries and restrict the batters from scoring freely.

OUCH! That must've hurt. A collision between Marco Jansen and Kagiso Rabada as they both go for the same catch towards the boundary down the ground. Marco Jansen looks to have come out worse from this collision. The players are being treated by the medical staff of South Africa. Both the fielders had their eyes set on the ball and a lack of communication has caused such an incident. Ryan Rickelton has taken the field replacing Marco Jansen and let's hope it isn't that serious.

Next, the officials make their way out to the middle followed by the two sets of players who will lineup for their respective national anthems. It will be the national anthem of South Africa first followed by that of West Indies.

PITCH REPORT - Shaun Pollock is pitchside. Adds that the breeze will be a factor and it is a 74-meter downtown boundary. Mentions that on one side there is a small boundary but the batter will have to hit against the wind which will make it interesting. Samuel Badree joins him and says that of all the venues, this has produced the most bounce and reckons that bashing it into the surface will be something that the pacers will look to exploit but there will be runs on offer.

The skipper of West Indies, Rovman Powell says they were looking to bowl as well but this allows the batters to bat well and post a good total on board. Adds that he is backing his side to adapt to the conditions here and perform well today Informs that they have one change as Kyle Mayers replaces Johnson Charles.

Next, the officials make their way out to the middle followed by the two sets of players who will lineup for their respective national anthems. It will be the national anthem of South Africa first followed by that of West Indies.

PITCH REPORT - Shaun Pollock is pitchside. Adds that the breeze will be a factor and it is a 74-meter downtown boundary. Mentions that on one side there is a small boundary but the batter will have to hit against the wind which will make it interesting. Samuel Badree joins him and says that of all the venues, this has produced the most bounce and reckons that bashing it into the surface will be something that the pacers will look to exploit but there will be runs on offer.

The skipper of West Indies, Rovman Powell says they were looking to bowl as well but this allows the batters to bat well and post a good total on board. Adds that he is backing his side to adapt to the conditions here and perform well today Informs that they have one change as Kyle Mayers replaces Johnson Charles. 

The skipper of South Africa, Aiden Markram says that they will bowl first and hopes that the wicket will get better later on and want to make use of the early conditions. Adds that they have been playing decent cricket and hope to play enough good cricket to get through tonight. Mentions that there is a strong breeze but it is generally a good batting wicket and informs that Tabraiz Shamsi is back in for Ottneil Baartman.
