On the first day of the second Test match between South Africa and West Indies, South Africa batted for 160 and lost all their wickets. In the 1st innings, the West Indies team went into bat to meet the target, they have already lost seven wickets, but comparatively they have not collected many runs, yet they need to collect 63 runs. The bowling performance of South Africa team is excellent at the moment, so it is not sure whether West Indies team will be able to meet the target as they are already lacking good batsmen. Wiaan Mulder did a great job bowling for the South African team. They had an outstanding bowling performance and took four wickets. Due to this, the test match is very tight between the two teams due to which neither team is able to play very well, yet it cannot be said for sure whether the West Indies will be able to fulfill the target in this match.
The last pair of West Indies team is batting at the moment and if by chance one more wicket falls here, then the West Indies innings will finish. This one wicket can fall at any time as the last batsman Shamar Joseph is batting on 19 runs.
After seeing the South Africa first innings, we thought they performed so badly but remember it is South Africa. the loser of the last World Cup (By the way, they have always been losing World Cups in history). However, until the final match, they were unbeaten and if on that day Hardik Pandya’s delivery David Miller had not been out and Surya Kumar dropped the catch then the South African team would have won that game.
In this innings only Jason Holder made 50 from the West Indies and is looking to battle the South African bowlers but he has been losing wickets at the other end.
