Star players missing… yet West Indies snatched the T20 series from South Africa

New Delhi. West Indies have won the series against South Africa by winning the second consecutive T20 match. The way the Caribbean team, captained by Brandon King, has performed against the Proteas is commendable.

The Windies batsmen scored 207 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs due to their brilliant batting. After this, their bowlers bowled brilliantly and stopped the host team at 191 runs. In this way, West Indies won the second T20 match by 16 runs.

South African (SA vs WI) team, which came out to chase the target of 208 runs set by West Indies, got a great start from its openers. The opening pair of Reeza Hendricks and Quinton de Kock scored 81 runs in 5 overs for the first wicket. After this, the South African team kept losing wickets at regular intervals. From their side, wicketkeeper de Kock scored the highest 41 runs in 17 balls while captain Rassie van der Dussen was dismissed after scoring 30 runs.

Alarm bells for South Africa

It is not easy for any team to defeat a Caribbean team in its home. This West Indies team is very strong in terms of T20. In the World Cup, they will also have strong batsmen like Russell, Pooran and Hetmyer.
