West Indies win T20 series after Proteas’ chase fails

West Indies have smashed 13 sixes in their innings to beat South ******* by 30 runs and secure the Twenty20 international series with a game to spare.

West Indies scored 6-179 after being asked to bat first in the second T20 on Sunday at Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad, accelerating from 4-111 after 14 overs.

Shai Hope hit a 22-ball 41 with two fours and four sixes and captain Rovman Powell contributed 35 runs, also in 22 ******, with three maximums.

South ******* were all out for 149 with two ****** remaining despite a strong start of 0-57 after just four overs. But the chase faltered and, at 6-138, the Proteas needed 42 runs off the last four overs.

Opener Reeza Hendricks top-scored with an 18-ball 44 which included two of his team’s six sixes before he was bowled by Romario Shepherd, who took 3-15 in four overs. Shamar Joseph returned 3-31.

West Indies were unchanged from the team that also hit 13 sixes to win the opening T20 by seven wickets at the same ground last Friday. South ******* replaced fast medium left-armer Nandre Burger with Lizaad Williams, who took 3-36.

The series-concluding T20 is on Tuesday, also at Tarouba.

South ******* prevailed in the preceding two-match Test series against West Indies, winning the second Test at Providence, Guyana, after a rain-hit drawn opener at Port of Spain, Trinidad.
