Kagiso Rabada led the way for South Africa as they beat the West Indies by 40 runs in a tense finish in the second test as the home side were dismissed for 222 chasing 263 for victory on the third afternoon at the Providence Stadium in Georgetown, Guyana, on Saturday. Rabada claimed 3-50 in 16 overs to finish on 299 test wickets while Keshav Maharaj (3-37) took three of the final four wickets to conclude a tense but well-deserved win.
Earlier, South Africa lost their last remaining five wickets inside the first 11 overs of the day as they slipped from a strong overnight position of 223 for five to 246 all out in their second innings, an overall lead of 262.
South Africa’s excellent sixth-wicket partnership of 85 ended with the sixth ball of the morning when Wiaan Mulder was trapped lbw by left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican’s skiddy arm ball without adding to his overnight 34 which included a pair of fours and sixes on the second evening.Maharaj completed a hat-trick of ducks in the series with a tame chip to short midwicket against Jayden Seales but there was nothing soft about Seales’ fifth wicket, a magnificent late inswinger to Kyle Verreynne which swerved between bat and pad to hit the top of leg stump. Verreynne’s 59 spanned 78 balls and included eight boundaries and was instrumental to the victory.
22-year-old Seales finished the innings with career-best figures of 6-61 from 18.4 overs when he held a brilliant, reflex catch off his own bowling to dismiss last man Nandre Burger for the third duck of the innings leaving first innings top scorer, Dane Piedt, unbeaten on seven.
