In a clinical all-round presentation drove by Hashim Amla and Imran
Tahir, South Africa gave West Indies a 139-run whipping at Basseterre in
St Kitts on Wednesday (June 15).
Pursuing an objective of 344, the hosts got off to a decent begin. Andre Fletcher and Johnson Charles scored at a decent pace in their opening stand of 69 runs. While the previous received a more moderate approach, the last took the assault toward the South African pacers. With the conditions helping batting, it appeared the ideal begin for the objective on board.
Nonetheless, once Charles withdrew - the second wicket to fall, West Indies' battle got to be apparent. Darren Bravo, Marlon Samuels, Denesh Ramdin and Kieron Pollard got off to begins, yet would never command against the twist twosome of Tahir and Tabraiz Shamsi.
The legspinner went through the West Indian batting arrange and helped their breakdown to 204. All the while, he turned into the speediest South African and the fourth quickest in general to pack 100 One-Day Universal (ODI) wickets. He completed with profession best figures of 7 for 45, turning into the principal South African bowler to sack seven wickets in an ODI innings.
Prior in the day, Jason Holder, West Indies captain, won the hurl and chose to field. Stomach muscle de Villiers, his South African partner, too said that, given the conditions, he too would've liked to pursue. While West Indies held the Playing XI that had won against Australia in the past experience of the tri-arrangement, South Africa rolled out two improvements - including Chris Morris and Shamsi set up of Kyle Abbott and Aaron Phangiso.
Amla and Quinton de Kock, in a differentiating showcase of batting, got South Africa off to a great begin. Amla unleashed the huge stores of familiar strokes in his stockpile while his left-gave accomplice played the holding up diversion. He raised his half-century in 38 balls and after that dashed - at about the same rate - towards his century. His 99-ball 110 included 13 shots to the limit. Throughout the thump, Amla indented up his 23rd ODI ton, going past Sourav Ganguly, Chris Gayle and Tillakaratne Dilshan.
Together, the couple included 182 keeps running in 33.1 overs for the opening wicket. For quite a while in the innings, they guaranteed to set a stage from where the South African center request could take them past a 400-run mark. Be that as it may, with both the openers withdrawing one after another, it drove the guests with some union to do.
In any case, Chris Morris who was advanced as a substitute didn't disillusion with the part depended on him as he smacked two or three limits and the same number of sixes in his 26-ball 40-run rush. De Villiers dispatched a comparative ambush, before holing out to the long off defender cordiality a confused shot.
Faf du Plessis, in any case, stayed solid and hit some vigorous blows in the passing overs to take South Africa to 343 for 4 in their 50 overs.
