South Africa win by 284 runs as West Indies collapse, JOHANNESBURG South Africa’s bowlers ripped through the West Indies fur as the hosts completed a 284- run win on the fourth day of the alternate Test at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday.
The West Indies were sailed out for 106 after being set to make 391 to win.
South Africa won the two match World Test Championship series 2- 0.
The match was effectively won and lost in8.1 overs leading up to lunch when the West Indies crashed to 34 for six. Fast bowler Kagiso Rabada struck twice in three balls and sparked the collapse after opening batsmen Kraigg Brathwaite and Tagenarine Chanderpaul survived the first 10 overs, putting on 21 runs.
Rabada dismissed Brathwaite for the seventh time in successive innings when he trapped the West Indian captain leg before gate for 18 with a ball which kept low. N Two balls subsequently Raymon Reifer gloved a catch down the leg side to wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen. Baits Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj also took two structures each as the West Indies lost six structures for 13 runs.
Off- incitement Harmer shared the new ball with Rabada and pulled extravagant turn, having Chanderpaul caught at alternate slip after the left- hander had faced 36 balls and scored only two runs. Roston Chase, Jermaine Blackwood and Kyle Mayers all fell cheaply with South Africa’s only reversal coming after Maharaj won a successful appeal for leg before gate against Mayers in the last over before lunch.
In celebrating, the left- arm incitement collapsed and was stretchered off the field with a left ankle tendon injury. Maharaj was taken for a scan. With all- rounder Wiaan Mulder suffering a right index croquette injury, which also demanded a scan, South Africa were effectively down to three frontline bowlers. The West Indies fur, still, had formerly been wrecked.
Mulder returned after lunch but was not demanded to drift.
Joshua Da Silva, Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph all played some aggressive strokes after lunch as the last four structures yielded 72 runs before the match ended soon after the afterlife drinks break. There had been enterprises about Rabada’s fitness after he suffered back pain during the first innings but he showed no signs of discomfort during a hostile seven- over spell.
South Africa were sailed out for 321 earlier, with captain Temba Bavuma adding only one run to his late 171 before he was caught at deep square leg off Holder.
