....PRESENTATION TIME....

Earlier in the day, after electing to bowl, the South African bowlers did really well to restrict Windies to an average total which was chased down by them with ease.

The Windies managed to take an early wicket but then could not keep the pressure going. They did not bowl all that bad but did give away a few loose ones and a few extras when not needed. The bowlers though can't be blamed as they just did not have enough runs on the board on a wicket which got easier to bat on.

Quite an easy win in the end for South Africa. 144 was always under par and that was pretty much evident. The Proteas did lose Bavuma early but Reeza Hendricks and Rassie played really well to not only get the chase back on track but take South Africa on top. The two added above 50 before Reeza fell after a good knock. Markram though did not let the momentum slip away as he too played a brilliant knock and he along with Rassie have given their side their first win of the tournament.
