Reeza Hendricks also out injured.

The Saffers have had their fair share of injuries.

This is our best opportunity to win a match in SA. Come on men, you can win this!

Yup big grin, interesting move to open with King. Hope is batting at #4. King is more aggressive as an opener. So far so good.

Early days but so far I'm pleased with what I'm seeing. It allows us to make better use of the first powerplay. Hope can anchor the innings while one of the openers is already set.

Excellent run rate, giving away wickets

None of them were wicket taking deliveries

They all got themselves out

Typical West Indies, another day, same crap! After such a solid start we once again find ways to mess things up.

i'm not suprised you see what these people average brandon king averages early twenties and opening in a odi. brooks is hit and miss and mayers the same thing and powell is not any better. andy roberts is right to much hitters not enough batsmen

Looks like a very good batting strip.

Amateur running between the wicket from Hope and Pooran nearly resulted in a run out.

Yup, one of this team's major problems. That's because a lot of our batters don't use their feet.

That was on the cards for the last 10mins or so. He looked bored to the point of reckless. Men can’t concentrate for long periods, the constant diet of T20 has done irreversible damage to our players

Shamsi to Holder, out Lbw!! Slower and turns in to the off-stump, Holder tries to reverse-sweep and is hit ont he left arm. South Africa have reviewed this for LBW. And what do we have here? It's three reds and Holder has to go. What a good review. It is arm before wicket. Similar to Sachin v McGrath in Adelaide 99. This is a regulation leggie which turns in and Holder is hit on the arm, and it's not bouncing too high to miss the stumps. Shamsi and the others are thrilled.

Cariah to Rickelton, out Lbw!! Good start for Cariah and West Indies. He gets Rickelton first ball. Nicely tossed up leggie on the stumps, hint of turn in, Rickelton gets forward to drive and misses, is hit on the back leg and the review is wasted as it is three reds. West Indies fight back with that wicket.

Akeal Hosein gets them a vital wicket as SA are dented once again with their skipper losing out on another mate. The batter also didn't go full throttle as he never reached the pitch of the ball. Poor shot selection costs SA, again.

Bavuma could have had the strike for the next over with a single. The non-striker also didn't ground his bat in. That didn't help either. SA have imploded.

Dropped. Akeal not happy.

Akeal Hosein to Bavuma, 1 run, and dropped! The man at deep mid got to it to his right and the ball bounced out of his hands. Just like some hot popcorn. Hard hands didn't help. They get a single only. That was tossed up, Bavuma went for the slog sweep and the man in the deep dropped it

Was dat Powell?

Holder to Bavuma, SIX, short ball and hammered! Stood up tall and got hold of it to pull it over the square leg region for a sixer. Again the timing was superb. His highest ODI score now

Akeal Hosein to Ngidi, whoa! Where did that come from Mr. Lungi? That was well tossed up and Ngidi swiped it across the line off the meat of the bat over deep mid. Clean hitting

Cariah to Bavuma, SIX, to long-onand down the ground for a sixer. Whatta superb hit. His batting has been pristine and so has been his timing. That was tossed up and Bavuma went down the ground

Alzarri Joseph to Bavuma, out Caught by Shai Hope!! Temba 'Valiant' Bavuma is gone. The short ball has done it. Bavuma almost tried to snatch a win but it is a pity it won't be happening with his departure. The ONE MAN SHOW is over. Was a short ball, slower, down leg, the tennis ball like bounce induces the edge and the keeper takes it easily. The leap of joy from Alzarri Joseph says it all.

Well done WI. With batting performing, the bowlers can sustain and win for us. Thought Powell would cost us the game dropping a regulation catch.

This win felt like we won a major tournament. Congrats W.I on beating SA on their home soil in how many years. Even if we lose the next match, we can't lose the series. Any chance of a washout on Tuesday? lol

Not just a win - we can’t lose the series - first time against the Saffies since 1992.
