WEST INDIES (C1) vs SOUTH AFRICA (D2) at Kennington Oval Super Eight

South Africa maintains unbeaten record as Windies go down

South Africa, batting first, were on course for a huge total as all-rounder Jacques Kallis (45) put on an opening 54-run partnership with Smith (31) and a second wicket 51-run partnership with Herschelle Gibbs (55). But they lost 5 quick wickets for just 34 runs in 25 balls on a typically good batting pitch, accompanied by a fast outfield, to finish 183/7.
West Indies, looking for the second consecutive win in consecutive matches, were given hope as Lendl Simmons hit 77 off just 50 balls with a six and 12 fours. But the South African teenager and left-arm fast bowler, Wayne Parnell, took 4-13, including the wickets of openers Andre Fletcher and Chris Gayle in four balls, to put his side firmly on the front foot. In the end, West Indies could manage only 163, falling short by 20 runs.
