Let us tell you that West Indies are playing without famous players like regular captain Rovman Powell, Andre Russell, Nicholas Pooran and Shimron Hetmyer in this series.
Before the T20 World Cup, America created a big upset by beating Bangladesh in the T20 series.
Batting first after losing the toss, the West Indies got off to a torrid start, but opener Johnson Charles (1) could not quite support Brendan King. After his dismissal, Kyle Meyers scored 34 runs off 25 balls and Roston Chase scored 32 runs off 30 balls to support the captain. Apart from these three, no West Indies batsman could touch double figures, due to which the hosts were restricted to 175 runs in the allotted 20 overs.
Chasing a target of 176 runs, opener Riza Hendricks played an innings of 87 runs off 51 balls with the help of 6 fours and 6 sixes. Hendricks could not lead the team to victory due to lack of support from any other batsman from the other end. After Hendricks, the best performance for South Africa in this match was South African Matthew Britzk who scored 19 runs.
The entire South African team could not even last 20 overs against the bowling attack of West Indies. The team was bundled out for 147 runs in 19.5 overs. Matthew Ford and Gudakesh Moti took 3 wickets each from West Indies.
