South Africa’s national cricket team has drawn the three-match One Day International (ODI) series against the West Indies.

Standing in for regular captain Temba Bavuma, who’s out with a possible hamstring strain, Aiden Markram won the toss and invited the West Indies to bat. Led by opener Brandon King, the visitors made a positive, aggressive start to their innings. Nicolas Pooran and Jason Holder were the only other batsmen who put up some resistance, scoring 39 and 36 runs respectively. Seamers Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Lungi Ngidi and Wayne Parnell took six scalps between them while spinner Bjorn Fortuin finished with figures of two for 46.
Markram and Tony de Zorzi looked to take the fight to the visitors’ bowlers but they too departed cheaply in quick succession, and South Africa was in some trouble on 87 for four.
