South Africa vs West Indies

However, that 108/4 in the 13 overs they got after opting to bat came from the blade of choice – Tristan Stubbs – who played a flat 40. He bowled for 14 runs and took two wickets and with bat too he was helpful for his team. In reply West Indies batting was fine and a fresh new target of 116 was chased, WI getting 116 for the loss of 2 wickets in 9.2 overs. Shai Hope with 42* Nicholas Pooran with 35 saved them and West Indies chased it big to seal the series with a 3-0 whitewash.

Conclusion
