Presentations coming up...

Earlier in the game, West Indies had a steady start but they kept on losing wickets at regular intervals. They lost a wicket whenever a good partnership was brewing for them. They were bundled up for 260 runs inside their allotted fifty overs. For the hosts, Bjorn Fortuin, Marco Jansen, and Gerald Coetzee picked up two wickets while Aiden Markram, Wayne Parnell, and Lungi Ngidi had one in their bank.

Well, the West Indies bowlers were good at the start and it seemed like the game was evenly poised inside 20 overs. They just could not break the gritty stand of Heinrich Klaasen and Marco Jansen who stitched a partnership of 103 runs. They got the wicket of Marco Jansen but it was too little, too late. Alzarri Joseph was the pick of the bowlers for them as he was economical and bagged three wickets. Akeal Hosein picked two while Kyle Mayers chipped in with one.

South Africa have absolutely cruised to victory in this third and final ODI and have levelled the series 1-1. Heinrich Klaasen, take a bow! It was a Heinrich Klaasen show as he pulled his side from 142/5 and registered a sensational victory and finished off things in style. They had a shaky start and lost some early wickets but Heinrich Klaasen came on and steadied the sinking ship. He scored an excellent knock of 119 runs and he was ably supported by Marco Jansen who was dismissed for 43 runs.

Commentary

We are back for the chase. The umpires and players make their way out to the middle. Ryan Rickelton and Tony de Zorzi will open the innings for South Africa. Alzarri Joseph will start with the new ball for West Indies. Here we go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then, West Indies batters have failed to bat the full quota of 50 overs but they have given their bowlers something to bowl at. On the other hand, South Africa will be pleased with their bowling effort and the onus is now on their batters to take them past the finishing line. Will Aiden Markram and co. succeed in doing so? We shall find out shortly. Back in a bit for the chase...

After West Indies were put into bat, Kyle Mayers and Brandon King got the visitors off to a swift start. They did lose Mayers in the 7th over but Shamarh Brooks joined hands with Brandon King and kept the scoreboard ticking. The duo stitched a 71-run stand and by doing so, set a solid foundation. However, they were pegged back losing both set batters in quick succession. Moreover, the early departure of Shai Hope made matters worse for them. Nicholas Pooran got off to a start but could go on to get a big score. Jason Holder was holding his end but he too perished in his quest up to the ante. With 9 wickets down, Odean Smith struck a few meaty blows but his departure brought an end to the innings.

This has been a stunning bowling display by South Africa, bowling West Indies out inside the 50 overs. Considering the overhead conditions at the start of the game, the stand-in skipper of South Africa, Aiden Markram needed his new ball bowlers to get some early inroads. Marco Jansen did manage to take an early scalp but the rest of the bowlers were unable to compliment him. Once the first Powerplay was over, the hosts pulled things back with some quiet overs. They kept the pressure on the opposition batters and were rewarded with wickets at regular intervals. By doing so, they never allowed West Indies to gain any momentum in their innings. The lower-order batters did trouble them but it was a good cleanup job by the pacers. Marco Jansen, Bjorn Fortuin and Gerald Coetzee broke the back of the West Indies batting unit by accounting for two wickets each.

48.2W

OUT! TIMBER! On a length and on off, Odean Smith looks to loft it but gets beaten the ball hits the top of off. Odean Smith's cameo comes to an end and West Indies and bundled out for 260 runs!

Commentary

We are back for the chase. The umpires and players make their way out to the middle. Ryan Rickelton and Tony de Zorzi will open the innings for South Africa. Alzarri Joseph will start with the new ball for West Indies. Here we go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Right then, West Indies batters have failed to bat the full quota of 50 overs but they have given their bowlers something to bowl at. On the other hand, South Africa will be pleased with their bowling effort and the onus is now on their batters to take them past the finishing line. Will Aiden Markram and co. succeed in doing so? We shall find out shortly. Back in a bit for the chase...

After West Indies were put into bat, Kyle Mayers and Brandon King got the visitors off to a swift start. They did lose Mayers in the 7th over but Shamarh Brooks joined hands with Brandon King and kept the scoreboard ticking. The duo stitched a 71-run stand and by doing so, set a solid foundation. However, they were pegged back losing both set batters in quick succession. Moreover, the early departure of Shai Hope made matters worse for them. Nicholas Pooran got off to a start but could go on to get a big score. Jason Holder was holding his end but he too perished in his quest up to the ante. With 9 wickets down, Odean Smith struck a few meaty blows but his departure brought an end to the innings.

This has been a stunning bowling display by South Africa, bowling West Indies out inside the 50 overs. Considering the overhead conditions at the start of the game, the stand-in skipper of South Africa, Aiden Markram needed his new ball bowlers to get some early inroads. Marco Jansen did manage to take an early scalp but the rest of the bowlers were unable to compliment him. Once the first Powerplay was over, the hosts pulled things back with some quiet overs. They kept the pressure on the opposition batters and were rewarded with wickets at regular intervals. By doing so, they never allowed West Indies to gain any momentum in their innings. The lower-order batters did trouble them but it was a good cleanup job by the pacers. Marco Jansen, Bjorn Fortuin and Gerald Coetzee broke the back of the West Indies batting unit by accounting for two wickets each.

Drinks break! After being put in to bat, West Indies are off to a good start with Brandon King leading the charge for them. The two batters are doing a good job of setting the base for the rest of the batters to come. Like the last game, South Africa have been unable to start well with the ball. They have offered too many loose deliveries allowing the opposition batters to release the pressure.

We are all set for the game to begin.  Both sides have lined up for their respective national anthems. First, it is the national anthem of the West Indies, followed by the national anthem of South Africa. The players take their respective positions on the field. Kyle Mayers and Brandon King will start for the West Indies. Lungi Ngidi comes to bowl. Here we go...

Shai Hope, the skipper of West Indies, starts by informing that they are going with the same team as the last game. Adds that they wanted to bat first anyway since runs on the board are important. Feels that they need to build partnerships during the middle overs. Shares that it is good to have confidence in the side and hopes that they can get over the line in this game. Ends by saying that he is enjoying captaining the side.

Aiden Markram, the stand-in skipper of South Africa, says that they will bowl first. Adds that there is a bit of grass so it will be good to bat second. He mentions the four changes and says that they will look to level the series. Ends by saying that they will give their best and win this game.

West Indies (Unchanged Playing XI) - Kyle Mayers, Brandon King, Shamarh Brooks, Shai Hope (C/WK), Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Odean Smith, Yannic Cariah, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph.

South Africa (Playing XI) - Ryan Rickelton (WK), Tony de Zorzi, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram (C) (In for Temba Bavuma), Heinrich Klaasen (In for Quinton de Kock), David Miller (In for Tristan Stubbs), Marco Jansen, Wayne Parnell (In for Tabraiz Shamsi), Bjorn Fortuin, Gerald Coetzee, Lungi Ngidi.

TOSS - The two captains are out in the middle. The coin toss lands in the favour of Aiden Markram and South Africa have opted to BOWL first.

We have some news coming in from the South African camp - Temba Bavuma has been ruled of the third ODI after he experienced discomfort in his hamstring. In his place, Aiden Markram will lead the hosts in this game. 

On the other hand, West Indies began well with the bat and batters kept the scoreboard ticking. Shai Hope truly led from the front with an unbeaten century to help his side cross the 300-run mark. At one point in their target defence, it seemed like the match was slipping out of their hands, but they fought back and bundled out the opposition. Will the visitors manage to secure a series win? Or will we see the hosts end the series on level terms? Let’s find out. Toss and team news coming up shortly...

In the second ODI, South Africa could only bowl well in patches, and as a result, they were set a daunting total by West Indies. While chasing, they were off to a flying start but lost their way in the middle overs. Skipper Temba Bavuma stood strong with a solid century, but it was not enough to get his side over the line. The home fans will be hoping for an improved display from their team in their quest to avoid a series loss.

Hello and a warm welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to our coverage of the third and final ODI between South Africa and West Indies at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom. After the first ODI was washed out, West Indies emerged victorious in the second ODI, and they hold a 1-0 lead heading into this game. The visitors will be hoping to seal the series with a win in this game, whereas South Africa will look to bounce back and draw level in the series.

... MATCH DAY …

It is time for the final match of the ODI series of the West Indies tour of South Africa. The visitors have a 1-0 lead in the series as they produced a surprisingly solid performance in the 2nd ODI. The first ODI was washed off due to rain and now the Proteas will have to win the final match to avoid the embarrassment of losing an ODI series at home. The hosts were the favorites coming into this series as they had beaten England a few months back. They failed to deliver a good performance in the second game. They will look to produce some support to their skipper, Temba Bavuma, as he was the standout batter and scored 144 runs, and was ably supported by Quinton de Kock who just fell a few runs shy from scoring his half-century. The rest of their batting line-up failed and they will be hoping for a better performance in this final game. On the other hand, West Indies had a near-perfect game in the 2nd ODI. They scored 335 and won the game by 48 runs. Their skipper, Shai Hope, was the stand-out batter as he scored 128 runs and was the man of the match. He will be expecting the same performance from his side and win this series. Can he do it? Or will the hosts bounce back and level this series? Let's find out together.
