The two players added 58 for the seventh wicket in their breezy partnership before Gerald Coetzee broke the stand. At 34/6, the result was a foregone conclusion as Joshua Da Silva and Holder came out swinging post the lunch break.ĭa Silva hammered Harmer for a six en route to making 34 whereas Holder found the boundary four times in his 19.
But while celebrating the wicket, Maharaj suffered a freak injury and had to be stretchered off the field. The procession continued as Harmer then got rid of Jermaine Blackwood whereas Keshav Maharaj got one to turn big to breach Roston Chase's defence before successfully getting a call in his favour for lbw against Kyle Mayers. Simon Harmer then got into the act as Tagenarine Chanderpaul edged a delivery to second slip to reduce the visitors to 25/3. Raymon Reifer then bagged a second-ball duck as he edged a delivery going down leg to the keeper in the same over.
Rabada proved to be Kraigg Brathwaite's nemesis again as he got one delivery to come back in after pitching to trap the skipper leg-before-wicket. Even though the visitors made a watchful start, scoring 20 off the first 10 overs without a wicket, South Africa made inroads after breaking that stand. A target of 391 was always going to be a tall task for a side that had failed to get anywhere closer to 300 so far in the series. Kagiso Rabada cleared the ropes a couple of times that helped them go past 300 before Jason Holder brought an end to the innings. Resuming at 287/7, the hosts lost skipper Temba Bavuma early for 172. West Indies were reduced to 34/6 at one stage before getting all out eventually for 106. South Africa, favourites to clinch the game by stumps on the third day, were rampant with the ball after setting the visitors a target of 391. South Africa registered a commanding victory in the second Test to seal the series 2-0Ī dominant performance from South Africa with the ball in the final innings helped them cleansweep the two-match Test series against West Indies on Saturday (March 11).
