West Indies seal series after Joseph’s five-fer in run-fest
West Indies and South Africa were involved in another run-fest to sign off the series with the former T20 World Champions prevailing by a tight margin of seven runs on Tuesday (March 28). Even though they didn’t have even a single half-centurion in their innings, West Indies managed to post a daunting 220 on the board and defended it despite Reeza Hendricks’ blistering knock in the second half of the game, thanks to a five-fer from Alzarri Joseph.
Brief scores:
West Indies 220/8 in 20 overs (Romario Shepherd 44*, Nicholas Pooran 41; Anrich Nortje 2/36) beat South Africa 213/6 in 20 overs (Reeza Hendricks 83, Rilee Rossouw 42; Alzarri Joseph 5/40) by 7 runs
