| 3.4 : 3.4: Kagiso Rabada to Evin Lewis, FOUR! That has been put away nicely and Windies will hope this breaks the shackles! It is not a good delivery by Rabada. Way outside off, lets Lewis free his arms, he hits it over point and it races away to the fence. |
| 3.5 : 3.5: Kagiso Rabada to Evin Lewis, SIX! BANG! 10 from the last two balls! Exactly what the Windies needed! A friendly full toss and Lewis does not miss out, he hits it over the long off fence for a biggie. |

| 8.5 : 8.5: Keshav Maharaj to Evin Lewis, SIX! That misfield costs Maharaj a biggie! Not saying that Simmons could have not hit one but the way Lewis is going, he is more likelier and he does strike it big. On middle, fuller, this is lofted over the long on fence for a welcome biggie. |
| 9.5: Tabraiz Shamsi to Evin Lewis, SIX! KABOOM! Fifty up in style and what an innings this has been! High pressure game, his partner is struggling but he has taken the onus onto him and courtesy the left-hander, his side has a foundation laid for the big hitters left. They though would love for him to continue. The slog sweep, he plays it really well. This is on middle, he sends it sailing over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 10.2 : 10.2: Keshav Maharaj to Evin Lewis, SIX! Dispatched! Just a tad short, outside off. Evin Lewis stays back and tonks it over long on for a maximum. |

| 12.2: Keshav Maharaj to Nicholas Pooran, OUT! CAUGHT! Keshav Maharaj strikes yet again and it is the dangerous Nicholas Pooran who makes his way back to the pavilion! Maharaj serves a flatter ball, outside off. Pooran looks to clear long off but he miscues it and the ball goes straight towards David Miller at long off who pouches it by moving across to his left. West Indies lose their second wicket. |
| 13.2: Kagiso Rabada to Lendl Simmons, OUT! BOWLED! Lendl Simmons' struggle comes to an end! It is Kagiso Rabada who does the job for his skipper! Rabada hurls a slower ball, into the pitch.

| 17.1: Dwaine Pretorius to Chris Gayle, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Dwaine Pretorius comes on to bowl his first over and finds success. He dishes out a full ball, a slower one, outside off. Chris Gayle throws the kitchen sink at it but is too early into the stroke. The ball goes off the outside edge and carries through to the keeper. Heinrich Klaasen moves to his left and completes the catch. |
| 17.2 : 17.2: Dwaine Pretorius to Andre Russell, FOUR! Russell power! Fuller in length, outside off. Andre Russell stands tall and smacks it over the bowler's head to long off for a boundary. Brute force from Andre Russell! |
| 17.5 : 17.5: Dwaine Pretorius to Kieron Pollard, FOUR! Smashed! Full again, on middle, right into the arc of Pollard. He murders it over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: Anrich Nortje to Andre Russell, OUT! TIMBER! Goodbye Andre Russell says Anrich Nortje. What a brilliant yorker from him. Pace like fire. Serves a yorker, on off, at 148 kph. Andre Russell clears his front leg and has a massive swing at it. The ball brezzes past the bat and rattles the stumps behind him.

| 19.2 : 19.2: Dwaine Pretorius to Kieron Pollard, OUT! TAKEN! Length ball, on off. Pollard goes deep in the crease and drills it down the ground towards the fielder behind the umpire. Rassie van der Dussen does well to settle under it and holds onto the catch. The umpires are going upstairs though to check if it was taken cleanly. The soft signal is given out. Replay shows that his fingers are underneath the ball and Pollard has to walk back to the pavilion. Plenty of drama for one ball. Kieron Pollar |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Dwaine Pretorius to Hayden Walsh, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust! Length ball, on off. Hayden Walsh has a swing at it but only manages it to slice it towards deep extra cover. Reeza Hendricks runs to his right from long off and takes the simplest of catches. Dwaine Pretorius is doing heck of a job for his team at the moment. He is on a hat-trick now. |

| 7.5: Dwayne Bravo to Reeza Hendricks, FOUR! Easy pickings! Slower ball, on a length, outside off. Reeza Hendricks waits for it and lofts it over cover for a boundary. A timely boundary for the Proteas! |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Akeal Hosein to Reeza Hendricks, OUT! THAT IS AS CLEAN AS A WHISTLE! Fantastic piece of fielding from Shimron Hetmyer to bring West Indies back into this contest! Huge wicket in the context of the game as Reeza Hendricks walks back to the hut. He was batting with ease but this will give Windies the belief. Not the best of balls though, it is short and on middle, Reeza pulls it powerfully but flat towards deep square leg. Hetmyer runs in, dives forward and claims to take it. The umpires d |
| 10.6 : 10.6: Hayden Walsh to Aiden Markram, SIX! That is huge! The hit and the over. 16 from it and South Africa well and truly back on top. Just the 62 needed in 54. This is the googly, it is on off but way too full. Markram sends it sailing over the long on fence for a biggie. |
| 11.6: Kieron Pollard to Aiden Markram, SIX! That spoils the over and Markram is taking the game away from the Windies! Shorter and on middle, he stands tall and dispatches it well over the square leg fence for a biggie. 9 from the over. 53 needed in 48. |
