Having been sent in to bat, the hosts racked up 131 runs, but the tourists chased down their target with three balls to spare to win by three wickets in Centurion.“It was a bit chaotic. In 11 overs anything can happen, but we assessed the situation in terms of how the pitch was playing and how they bowled,” Magala said.
“They used their short balls pretty well and the ball was very uneven, so decisions were kind of made on the fly, but we just went with it and backed it.”Magala contributed 18 runs before leading the Proteas attack by returning 3/21 to play a key role for the home side.While it was not enough to carry them across the line, the seam bowler was pleased to have shone with the bat, as well as the ball.
“It’s nice to return the favour. As a bowler you always get hit, so you always try your best to hit a couple of balls too,” he said. The second of three matches in the T20 series between South Africa and West Indies will be played at SuperSport Park on Sunday, starting at 2pm.","category_class":"child-of-sport","time_ago":"16 hours ago","premium":false,"gallery":false,"excerpt":"The tourists reached their target of 132 runs with three balls to spare.
