MAN-OF-THE-MATCH: SA skipper AB de Villiers

<p><strong>MAN-OF-THE-MATCH: SA skipper AB de Villiers<br /></strong></p><p></p>

27 Feb 2015

Well done to the Proteas who rebounded after the disappointment against India last Sunday. No doubt AB de Villiers will be the man-of-the-match, but Imran Tahir's five-wicket haul should also be credited.

27 Feb 2015

South Africa win by a massive 257 runs!

27 Feb 2015

Benn is out for 1, caught by Amla at first slip off the bowling of Morkel.

27 Feb 2015

WICKET!

27 Feb 2015

Sulieman Benn is the last batsman in for the West Indies.

27 Feb 2015

Holder is out for 56, caught by Amla at mid-on off the bowling of Steyn.

West Indies 150/9 after 32.4 overs.

27 Feb 2015

WICKET!

27 Feb 2015

Meanwhile, Hashim Amla has taken over the captaincy temporarily with AB de Villiers off the field. Not sure what's wrong with De Villiers...

27 Feb 2015

It also brings up the 150 for the West Indies, coming off 32.2 overs.

27 Feb 2015

SIX! Holder smacks Steyn over extra cover for a maximum.

27 Feb 2015

It was Holder's 1st ODI half-century.

27 Feb 2015

HALF-CENTURY for Holder, coming off 44 balls.

27 Feb 2015

FOUR! Too short from Abbott and Holder duly pulls him away for four. It takes the Windies skipper to 46.

27 Feb 2015

Taylor skies another delivery from Abbott, and again it falls safe. Third time lucky for Taylor!

27 Feb 2015

OVERS 30: West indies 129/7

They have now avoided suffering the world ever defeat in ODI cricket.

27 Feb 2015

Tahir finishes with figures of 5/45 off 10 overs.

27 Feb 2015

Holder spoils Tahir's figures somewhat when he smacks his final two deliveries for 4 and 6...

27 Feb 2015

Taylor again skies one, this time off Tahir, but again it falls safe...

27 Feb 2015

CHANCE! Taylor skies a delivery from Abbott but it falls in no-man's land. Morkel too slow to come in from third man...

27 Feb 2015

FOUR! Abbott bowls a full toss and duly duly whips him on the leg side for a boundary.

27 Feb 2015

Replays show it was crashing into leg-stump. But for some reason, the Proteas opted not to take the review!

27 Feb 2015

Abbott with a massive lbw appeal against Holder. It was a great in-swinger but given not out...

27 Feb 2015

That's also a five-wicket haul for Tahir, brought up with another clever googly...

It's Tahir's first five-wicket haul in ODI cricket.

27 Feb 2015

Tahir clean-bowls Ramdin for 22.

West Indies 108/8 after 26 overs.

27 Feb 2015
