Pre-Match Analysis:
West Indies, who were comprehensively beaten by 50 runs in the series opener, didn’t take much time to level the series as they triumphed in the 2nd T20I by 6 wickets in the final over. The decision to field first was well backed up by the bowlers, especially experienced spinners Afy Fletcher and Karishma Ramharack, who picked up 2 wickets apiece and conceded 38 runs combined from 8 overs. Hayley Mathews and Jahzara Claxton were the other wicket takers, picking up a wicket each. In the end, they restrict the visitors to 113 for 6.
In response, skipper Hayley Matthews made it up for her mediocre show in the 1st T20I with a match-winning innings of 63* from 56 balls as they sailed home with 4 balls to spare.
They will be hoping for a similar performance in Monday’s final T20I.
South Africa lacked intent and clarity in the 2nd T20I, which proved to be a significant setback in the context of the game. They lost wickets regularly and could only muster 113 for 6. With a timely knock of 21* from 17 balls, Annerie Dercksen lifted the struggling side from 79 for 6 to 113 for 6. Credit to their bowlers, who pushed the game all the way deep into the final over; however, the target was not so big, and they lost by a close margin.
Barring Tazmin Brits, no other batters have crossed the individual mark of 30 runs in the series. While the bowling unit is sorted with Nonkululeko Mlaba leading the charts with 3 scalps.
