00:30South Africa champions versus the West Indies champions both sides must win Christopher Henry
00:36is on the toss he's had a discussion with Alan Wilkinson they've come up with a decision to
00:41bowl first no surprise there for South Africa Ashwell Prince, Richard Levy, Neil McKenzie,
00:48Dane Villas will keep wicked, JP Dumony the all-rounder, Justin Ontong, Werner Follander,
00:54Charles Langeveld, Dale Steyn, great to see Dale Steyn here, Imran Tahir with a bit of wizardry
00:59with the ball in hand and captain Jacques Callas who has missed out thus far, can today be the day
01:05for the skipper? Dwayne Smith is in great touch, Chadwick Walton, Jonathan Carter, Kirk Edwards,
01:14Navin Stewart, Riyad Emirates now good bowler from Trinidad, Ashley Nurse excellent all-rounder,
01:20Badri former number one bowler in the world, tall man, Solomon Bend with a left arm finger spin,
01:26Tino Bess fast fast and faster and Chris Gayle, we need a bit of Chris Gayle fireworks today
01:48oh they'll have to hurry a direct hit that's very close West Indies think they've got their man
01:57and it's Neil McKenzie well he sent it upstairs to Neil Baines and I don't think he has to because
02:03I reckon McKenzie's gone by a couple of yards yeah it's a dreadful call from Richard Levy
02:08that is a big big loss Neil McKenzie one of the few players who had a bit of touch gone for a duck
02:14not for one oh he's given that a lot of air and so too has Richard Levy
02:27yes
02:30that's going to trickle over for four
02:39that for a moment looked like it might have been a chance
02:46that's a big hit
02:49yeah it's gone all the way for an ease my trip six over backwards square
02:54I'm sure Sanger if he's listening would have something to say but
02:58this is a big hit yeah poor start here from Solomon Bend he's been down leg side
03:09Ben Stokes is the latest in that list oh yes I think that's gone Richard Levy's on his way
03:18he's not even turning around he stops now because he knows it's going to be referred
03:24Neil Bainton has been busy I think Levy knows he's gone
03:29West Indies they don't need to take wickets they're dealing in runouts
03:33go have a cold shower gone for 20 32 for two
03:39oh from that shot that's a serious shot that is a Jacques Kellis at his best never looked to
03:46over hits it I think he was just waiting for the paceman to come because he wanted to use the pace
03:58out out Ashley Nurse is having
04:03a great tournament with the ball in hand in the field lovely catching it was hit hard flat
04:11getting low on him took it quite comfortably at the end
04:17when you looked at it you just thought is he just going to let this bounce but he just had
04:21to judge it didn't he Jacques Kellis the captain goes for 18 South Africa champions in trouble again
04:2647 for three a little bit fuller one more misfield that's not good from West Indies
04:36all the good work before rain you don't want to lose this will just run away for a boundary even
04:45though we've had a lot of rain here this outfield is still quick it absorbs a lot of moisture here
04:54that will go for four that's been hit very nicely by JP
05:03balding down the pitch and that lack of movement freedom of movement accounting for JP too many
05:12he was looking to go over long on big gap between bat and pad just small
05:20picking up a wicket off JP Domini he divides for 23 79 for four
05:28that is nicely struck and it's gone straight through the hands of Carter he's just made a
05:37hash of this
05:46oh it's up it's up and Christopher Henry Gale with a sprint the skipper pouches it
05:55have a look at that effort from Chris Gale the universe boss
06:00when Tom was looking to go big with that angle the ball was always getting away from him but
06:06perfectly judged by the universe boss on Tom probably looking to do the right thing get some
06:13boundaries but gets out for 11 it's 93 for five Nathan Stewart around the wicket straight away
06:22slower ball hit the gap and hit the gap perfectly with a bit of a misfield you can see it's a little
06:30bit slippy down there because of the rain we had earlier and the hundred is up happy
06:38what a shot Dean Villas uses the pace
06:48pulled away strongly and four and he's my trip six it's a good shot
06:56quality shot that
06:57just trying slightly shot on that occasion right emirate
07:04paying a heavy price I found it very very crisp
07:11oh this will be another boundary again well played
07:19oh it's beautiful it's really good it's the modern day shot
07:22just uses the pace that's on offer gets in position early gets low
07:32this has gone all the way it's top edge it's into the stands
07:36into the stands this 21 from the first four deliveries they needed something South Africa
07:43yeah they needed an influx of runs and again great game awareness predicting what the ball is going
07:48to try and do the moment he came around the stumps he could sense he's going to try and go for that yorker
08:02good effort in the end
08:08straight in the gap waited waited you know that
08:13Solomon Ben is going to get back because of his height put away
08:19that's it just picked up on length use the pace 160 up now and Dane Villas is 43 from 16
08:30he's somebody who's looked comfortable out there on the very first delivery he faced
08:36in 14 this is another ease my trip six from Aswell Prince at one point I don't think
08:46South Africa champions thought that they could get close to that 170 mark
08:52and 167 still a few more deliveries left that's again a wonderful shot
08:59again into the gap so Dane Villas will not have a chance to try and get to the quickest half century
09:08last ball of the innings in the air don't think he's got enough of it
09:12fielder comes in dropped you do not see that Ashley Nurse and he spilled it out hopefully
09:19he's not hurt himself he's holding his back and I think the players have decided not to run anymore
09:24good sportsmanship from both Prince and Villas it finishes off the innings for South Africa 174 for five
09:33right Chris Gale won the toss decided to have a ball first put South Africa in they lost at
09:37McKenzie well straight away run out by Dwayne Smith then Kirk Edwards ran out Levy Callis
09:44gone Badri just lobbed it down to long gone Bumini for 23 he's got the ball he's got the ball
09:50Badri just lobbed it down to long gone Bumini for 23 struggled with a little bit of a hamstring
09:56injury another worry for South Africa and then that big partnership between
10:00Prince and Dane Villas 46 and 44 saw them get to 174 for five
10:09one for 13 off four overs for Samuel Badri two for 23 for Jason Mohamed Jason and
10:17uh Ashley Nurse none for 25 they'll have to chase down the West Indies 175
10:24from the 20 overs at just under nine runs per over
10:37it's up and running now Chris Gale needs some runs here
10:40lazy elegance this pushes it through covers and will take that boundary Chris Gale
10:54without a loss beautifully beautifully driven by Chris Gale once again finding the middle of the bat
11:04slip has been taken out I think it was too wide the third is inside the ring and it's
11:09the fourth another boundary for Chris Gale
11:16two straights Dwayne Smith shimmied away and Vernon Philander tried to follow him
11:22but Dwayne Smith was too good
11:27it was a googly it was picked and it was pumped ease my trip six for Christopher Henry Gale and
11:35the West Indies have the first maximum of the chase extension of arms that's the kind of power
11:43even today Chris Gale has yeah he's gonna go again it's in the slot again bang beautiful Chris Gale
11:54beautiful extension of the arms there it was in the slot once again it's raining sixes
11:59cracked away now that's more like Dwayne Smith
12:06Alan Donald out there didn't have a Danny LaRue didn't have a clue where it went
12:14smashed imperiously by Dwayne Smith
12:17Chris Gale says Callis have some of that I'll ease my trip for a six
12:31Callis who to say is his first bowl in the competition
12:38just trying to get it down there unfortunately you've got somebody called Christopher Henry
12:42in the air he's going to get a wicket and his son's going to take it caught some bold dad
13:02well he steadied himself hands high above the eyeline a good catch
13:08a good catch and Neil McKenzie well done lad and he's got a good one as well Dwayne Smith's gone for 22
13:21four
13:28just too too wide too short come on Mac
13:30yeah that's squirted away for four it's a very big bat that Chris Gale uses and
13:41once he gets something on it that'll be four really nicely tied off the back foot by Chadwick Walton
13:53Imran Tahir into the attack and just worked away on the onside Chris Gale will take that second
14:06and will get to his 50 as well strike rate of 150 360s in that as well big smiles well he had
14:14breakfast with the team this morning wanted to try and register the win big smile with that 50 with
14:20Chris Gale off the back foot with all the time in the world and that's the power of the universe
14:29boss ease my trip six and eased it into the stands it's a poor ball from Tahir again and he just
14:39launches it it was in the slot and you got that sense if in the slot Chris Gale is going to
14:47dispatch it for six Googly again every time he goes for the Googly I reckon Chris Gale
14:55prefers hitting Imran Tahir's Googly for six as opposed to his leg spinners
15:04so that he can do that with just one hand
15:07ease my trip and six sails over the deep midway boundary
15:17lovely absolutely the power of the man just one hand will do
15:24catch it was the call but it was dispatched in style by Chadwick Walton
15:31another ease my trip six down the next side
15:34Rolando back to the attack and
15:37getting pummeled getting the same treatment as all the other samers for the South Africa champions
15:45just 51 to win
15:50that should be close that should be close there's a slow ball
15:55from Charles Langeveld and Chris Gale played all over it he took the pace right and just doesn't
16:04get to Chris Gale that's right in front bang in front even with the angle that's got to go
16:12on to middle and leg and Charles Langeveld who was always an excellent bowler with slower balls and
16:17Yorkers and Chris Gale thank you for the entertainment today that was wonderful 70 or 40
16:27chance a catch he caught it I thought it was Alan Donald under there but Phyllis picking
16:34up a catch battered superbly in the first inning and bringing his team back in the game
16:40mid-on to extra cover Dane Villas we've gone down to long gone normally seen with the gloves on not
16:48today Richard Levy has taken the gloves and South Africa have another wicket Carter gone for six one
16:54three two for three out magnificently taken had a tough series so far with the ball in hand
17:05but Philander on that occasion taking a beautiful catch in his follow-through
17:12and now he's got two in two Ashley Nurse just tries to punch it back
17:18simple catch for Vernon Philander and they have enjoyed that they haven't won the game yet but
17:25they have a moment where they can enjoy Ashley Nurse gone first ball duck he's been expensive
17:32and he still is going to be expensive eased for an ease my trip six
17:39once again floating it up really close to the batter he wasn't gonna miss out on that
17:46it's a lot of teams I think it's around about 50 I was just being sarcastic then what a beautiful
17:52shot that is slow and out of the park eased with ease my trip six this was in the arc again
18:05Patrick Walton is such a clean hitter of the cricket ball
18:13he's finishing it quickly he means business 17 of the over 162 for four
18:22oh lovely sound of that bat right from the screws the first delivery first two deliveries may be
18:34very crucial it can wrap up very quickly or we might be there for a big treat no the treat is
18:42only given by Walton little too short from Dale Steyn and dealt it with another six
18:52magnificent cricket played by West Indies today Chris Gill very happy batted really well
18:58so West Indies on the board so set 175 to win it was a comfortable really chase in the end it got
19:10a little bit nervy in the middle but 70 from Gail Walton with that half century 56 and 29 22 for
19:18Dwayne Smith and Edwards with his 12 not out much better effort from the South African bowlers but
19:27not good enough not enough to defend that total Tahir was very very expensive so this is the
19:34summary 174 was the target given by South Africa Prince batted quite nicely for 46 not out Villas
19:4244 not out of 17 deliveries that was a one hell of a knock there then and West Indies champions
19:49finished it in the in the last over with quite comfortably
