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.
