MAN OF THE MATCH

Andre Russell is the man of the match for his match winning innings.

25 Jan 2015

Let's not forget that West Indies were 73/5 at one point...

25 Jan 2015

West Indies 266/9

Russell 64* (40)

They win by one wicket with 9 balls to spare.  Well played to them, but South Africa will still be very concerned about their death bowling.  

25 Jan 2015

SIX!  Russell is the hero, he has won it for the West Indies!  He smashed that straight back over Abbott's head as he missed his length again.  

Great innings from the West Indies allrounder. 

25 Jan 2015

What a yorker by Abbott, but Russell has kept it out... just!  3 off 10 deliveries required.

25 Jan 2015

FOUR!  Too wide from Abbott and Russell has hit that behind point for a boundary.  3 to win now.

25 Jan 2015

A quick single gets Russell on strike for the next over.

West Indies now need 7 off 14 balls with 1 wicket in hand.

25 Jan 2015

SIX!  Another one, this time down the ground by Russell.  That is his fifty as well, off 34 balls with 4x4 and 4x6.

25 Jan 2015

SIX!  Phangiso drops short and Russell has time to rock back and launch him over midwicket.

25 Jan 2015

Sheldon Cottrell is the new man in, get gets a single down to long-off.  Russell on strike.

25 Jan 2015

WICKET!  West Indies panic!  Brathwaite wants to get off strike, he runs as soon as he plays the ball to short square leg. De Villiers is in like a flash and Van Wyk does the rest.

CR Brathwaite run out 11 (14b 0x4 1x6) SR: 78.57

25 Jan 2015

Phangiso will bowl his last over.  Brave from De Villiers.

25 Jan 2015

West Indies 239/8 after 47 overs

They require 24 off 18 deliveries.

25 Jan 2015

That will be overturned, he was nowhere near it!  Snicko and replays confirm, NOT OUT!

25 Jan 2015

REVIEW!  Russell has been given out caught behind!  He is refers it straight away!

25 Jan 2015

DROPPED! De Villiers just moved himself to slip and Brathwaite steered one straight to him, but he grassed it! How costly will that be.

25 Jan 2015

West Indies 236/8 after 46 overs.

They require 26 off 24 deliveries.

Hold on to you hats, its going to be close!

25 Jan 2015

SIX!  Russell has smashed that miles!   In the slot from Morkel and Russell launches him over long off.  Poor bowling.

25 Jan 2015

Morkel returns to the attack.  He has two overs left.  

25 Jan 2015

West Indies 227/8 in 45 overs.

They require 36 to win off 30 balls.

25 Jan 2015

SIX!  Brathwaite launches Abbott straight down the ground for maximum! Game still very much on here. 

25 Jan 2015

Phangiso bowls another tight over, only 2 runs coming off it.  He has been brilliant today.

25 Jan 2015

WICKET!  WHAT A CATCH!  A low full toss which Holder tries to flick over mid-wicket. Miller has other ideas and he climbs high into the air and grabs it with a full outstretched right hand!

JO Holder c Miller b Duminy 13 (12b 2x4 0x6) SR: 108.33

25 Jan 2015

FOUR!  Too wide from Duminy and Holder is on that in flash, driving him through the covers for a boundary.

25 Jan 2015

Duminy back to bowl the last of the over by the fifth bowler.

25 Jan 2015

FOUR!  Too short from Parnell and Russell guides it to the unguarded third man boundary.

25 Jan 2015

Parnell returns to the attack for South Africa.  West Indies require 58 off 53 deliveries.

25 Jan 2015

FOUR!  Poor bowling from Morkel as he misdirects down the leg side and Holder just helps the ball on its way to fine leg.

25 Jan 2015

TWO HUNDRED UP FOR THE WEST INDIES

The 200 has taken 245 balls.

25 Jan 2015

Russell has 25 off 14 balls.  All West Indian hopes lie with him.

25 Jan 2015

SIX!  Russel swings Behardien over long-on for a six!  That's where he is aiming most of the time.  

25 Jan 2015

Jason Holder is the new man in for the West Indies.  Can he lead his side home?

25 Jan 2015

WICKET!  Bowled him!  That ball kept low and went through Samuels defence.  De Villiers has made some inspired bowling changes today.

MN Samuels b Behardien 68 (93b 5x4 2x6) SR: 73.11

25 Jan 2015

Behardien returns, brave call by De Villiers.

25 Jan 2015

West Indies 187/6 after 39 overs

They require 76 off 66 balls.

25 Jan 2015

No run off the free hit as he bowls full and wide, but Samuels had backed away and can't get bat on ball.

25 Jan 2015

Front foot no-ball by Morkel.  Free hit coming up.

25 Jan 2015

Big swing and a miss from Samuels, it goes through to the keeper.  

25 Jan 2015

FOUR!  This time Russell clears the front foot and smashes Morkel over deep mid-wicket for a boundary.  

25 Jan 2015

FOUR! Russell edges Morkel down to a fine third man for a boundary.  Unlucky for the big fast bowler.

25 Jan 2015

41 runs come from the Powerplay with the wicket of Sammy.

25 Jan 2015

Phangiso returns, last over of the powerplay.

25 Jan 2015

FOUR!  Beautiful cover drive from Russell as Parnell overpitches.

25 Jan 2015

De Villiers didn't take that catch cleanly, but managed to hold on as he fell to the ground. 

25 Jan 2015

Andre Russell strides to the wicket.  He can also hit the ball miles!
