To be honest I was sure about south African victory before thier inning end and they make it sure in my view after scoring 350 runs but in West Indies inning they abit shock me with opening partnership because I expect same all out around 150 or 180 but they really proved me wrong and played brilliantly and through small small contribution they make that big Target now they scored 220 around with loss of 9 wicket which is a positive indication for them but if we have a look at statics it's 4th day of test match so I believe now south African has to bat and then west indies has to chased which isn't be done till las 5th day so things will be definitely goes towards drawn and that will be beneficial for west indies because rather than that it's confirmed defeat for them but some how rain change that results in thier favor and it became from defeat to drawn.

I was also sure that South Africa will this match. But there was rain interfering so thsi was not easy. Because now this match will be drawn due to rain. Their is the third inning of the match and today is the last day of the match. Means South Africa is playing their second inning and they just started it and they made 33 runs without any lost. Let suppose if South Africa play their full inning so I am sure that they will give a target of 400+ runs. So that will be not a easy target for the West Indies. Well today is the last day and match will be drawn so that is the reality.

West Indies scored 233 runs in the first innings but could not meet the target given by South Africa. As today is the last day of the Test match, there is definitely a chance of a draw between the two teams. At the moment, as the South African team has collected 30 runs after playing 5 overs and their lead is 154, although they have not taken any wicket so far, it is expected that the West Indies team will collect better runs. In today's match, if South Africa scores 200+ runs in their last innings, it will be very difficult for West Indies to win the match, in which case South Africa will have a chance to win. But since today is the fourth day and the West Indies team has a chance to play one more innings, if the match is not completed today, then the match will definitely become a draw.

Today is not the last day, today is the fourth day of the first Test match between West Indies and South Africa. Right now the South African team is batting in their second innings on the fourth day even though they are currently amassing 33 runs without losing a wicket. South Africa scored 357 runs in the first innings and even in the second innings they scored 33 runs leading West Indies by 154 runs. The South African team still has a full day, maybe they will bat well today and even score more runs which will not be easy for the West Indies. West Indies lost one more Test series before this series where they lost 3-0.

We are observing their poor performance in this series as well. What the West Indies batsmen lack is responsible and patient batting. Mainly because of this problem they may lose this series too.

West Indies scored 233 runs in the first innings but could not meet the target given by South Africa. As today is the last day of the Test match, there is definitely a chance of a draw between the two teams. At the moment, as the South African team has collected 30 runs after playing 5 overs and their lead is 154, although they have not taken any wicket so far, it is expected that the West Indies team will collect better runs. In today's match, if South Africa scores 200+ runs in their last innings, it will be very difficult for West Indies to win the match, in which case South Africa will have a chance to win. But since today is the fourth day and the West Indies team has a chance to play one more innings, if the match is not completed today, then the match will definitely become a draw.

South Africa would have defiantly won this test match had there been no rain interruptions. However, the good thing for the West Indies is that despite having a poor batting performance in the first innings (where they were all out at 233 runs only), they still can save this match because today is the last day of this match and current South Africa are batting at 30-0.



In the most aggressive circumstances the South African team can declare at the lunch time and then the West Indies will have to bat around 50-60 overs to draw the test. If they have wickets in the end for the last 10-15 overs of the day, they can even go for the chase of the target. It will be crucial at which point today South Africa will declare the innings.

West Indies set out to chase down a target of 357 runs, though they mustered 145 runs on the third day. They were supposed to bat on the fourth day but due to rain, the match was not held but was delayed until the weather cleared. And 212 runs are still to be collected to meet the target of going to South Africa. West Indies have only six wickets in that case so they have to play well. The odds of the first Test match seem to suggest that West Indies may not win against South Africa but South Africa is the most likely team to win.

SA International test cricket team is leading by 154 runs . SA team has 80 percent chances to win this match because they made good score in first inning and West Indies all team out by making only 233 runs but SA team made 357 runs in first inning. Today is the 5th day of if this match and today performance wil decide which will be the decision of this match because SA team is full strong and they didn't lose any wicket in the 2nd inning and their score is 30 with fall of no wicket. west Indies team should give their hundred percent to draw this match but it is very tough for West Indies team to draw this match but they should give their full effort to all team out of SA team.SA team players are looking in good form because they are best in test cricket but West Indies is not good in test cricket and always lose test series.

Everyone knew, including the players, that this match would be drawn and there was no chance for this match to be finish with a result because today is the last day and it is not possible to play two innings in one day only in test and especially in this one because the South African batting is strong and they could not be out by the West Indies bowlers.

Even if they declare, the South African bowlers are not able to out the entire team of West Indies in few overs in the test match. The players are playing for themselves today, to make records fifty and hundred and doing practice. Tristan Stubbs has scored more than 60 runs and is looking too good at the moment.

In the second innings, the South African team scored 173 runs for 3 wickets in 29 overs. South Africa team gave a huge lead of 298 runs to West Indies team West Indies must bat well to meet this target. And since they lost one wicket by 11 runs in today's match, they are still under a lot of pressure, maybe they will lose this match very easily. If they do not succeed in meeting the target of 298 runs then they must fail in the first Test match. And on the fifth day, since West Indies' disappointing batting at the beginning of the game, it will not take them to the victory stage, but they may not be able to meet the target of today's match.
