ICC World Twenty20 Group A, Johannesburg: South Africa 208-2 (17.4 ovs) bt West Indies 205-6 (20 ovs) by 8 wktsHere are the Live Scores-South Africa Vs West Indies-Icc World Twenty20
Chris gayle played an outstanding record breaker Innings of 117 in just 57 balls, giving the tournament a starter it deserved, But couldn't help his team earn a victory. And South Africa won the match by 8 wickets.
Southafrican start was not a perfect one. Captain Graeme Smith was hit painfully one the hand off the first ball. But the loose bowling from West Indies bowlers gave them a chance. West Indies looked really poor in the field. They slipped three catches and gave a record 23 wides in just 20 overs.
Gibbs was the Southafrican hero,who scored 90 runs with the help of 13 fours and 2 sixes.I think that the reason behind the Southafrican victory was team effort, which West Indies lacked to show. They had their innings backed on just one person Chris gayle whereas in case of South Africa, almost everybody participated in the job,therefore reaching the target at the cost of just two wickets with 14 balls to spare.
This really was a fantastic starter. And we hope to have some more excellent matches as the tournament goes further.
