South Africa vs West Indies, 1st T20I, West Indies tour of South Africa, 2026 - Highlights

Linde to Holder, out Caught by Corbin Bosch!! Short and wide of off stump, Holder looks to launch it down the ground and feeds it off the toe end of the bat. Bosch runs in from long-off and accepts it gleefully. Holder c Corbin Bosch b Linde 1(2)

Linde to Hetmyer, out Caught by Brevis at deep mid-wicket!! Excellent take from Brevis. Hetmyer took on the full toss and went really hard on the slog on the leg-side. Skewed it off the thick inside half and Brevis took a well-judged catch at deep mid-wicket. Took it with both hands, realized he was gonna lose momentum and then tossed the ball in the air, before grabbing the rebound. Hetmyer c Brevis b Linde 48(32) [4s-4 6s-3]

Corbin Bosch to Powell, FOUR, juicy full toss on the stumps, Powell heaves and gets enough power behind it to get the ball racing to the deep mid-wicket fence

Corbin Bosch to Hetmyer, SIX, missed opportunity. Low full toss just outside off, Hetmyer clubbed it off the toe end and the fielder was well inside the ropes at long-off. Had he stayed deep, that would have been an easy catch. Mphaka was the fielder there and he got fingertips on the leap...

Rabada to Powell, SIX, picked the bones out of that one has Rovman Powell. 138ks length delivery just outside off, Powell smacks the pull into the breeze and gets the ball sailing for a 76-metre maximum over mid-wicket

Corbin Bosch to Hetmyer, FOUR, short and sat up wide of off stump, Hetmyer goes chasing with a slap over extra cover and connects it well enough to get the ball racing into the ropes

Kwena Maphaka to Hetmyer, no ball, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Shimron Hetmyer. 141ks short and wide of off, Hetmyer muscles the pull and manages to place it over mid-wicket for a one-bounce boundary! Oh dear! To make matters worse for South Africa, that was a front foot no ball from Kwena Maphaka. Free hit coming up...

Kwena Maphaka to Hetmyer, FOUR, that sat up nicely wide of off stump. Hetmyer went deep inside the crease and used his bottom hand power to spank that in the gap through extra cover

Maharaj to Hetmyer, SIX, Hetmyer is taking on his positive match up here. He uses his feet, although the ball was wide he decided to swat it away on the leg-side and got the desired connection to clear the fence over mid-wicket

Maharaj to Hetmyer, SIX, my word! That is some hit from Shimron Hetmyer. Comes down the track, gets under the full ball and marmalizes it for a 102-metre maximum over mid-wicket

Linde to Powell, FOUR, that is much better from Powell. Sinks low and shows direction to the full delivery from off stump to the fine leg fence. A neat paddle sweep and the timing has been top-notch from the former West Indian skipper

Linde to Powell, leg byes, 2 runs, fuller on leg stump, Powell misses the flick and it deflects off the boot to the right of short fine for a couple of runs

Linde to Roston Chase, out Bowled!! Almost an action repeat of King's dismissal. That was dropped short and just a shade outside off stump. Chase made room early and wanted to drag the big shot on the leg-side. Went really hard and ended up skewing a thick inside edge back onto the stumps. Would have been much better had he played that straight or on the off-side. Not to be. Roston Chase b Linde 22(18) [4s-2]

Maharaj to Hetmyer, FOUR, waltzes down the pitch, meets the ball on a fuller length and clubs it back over the bowler's head for a one-bounce boundary. That should give Hetmyer plenty of confidence...

Corbin Bosch to Forde, out Caught by Rabada!! No problems with the previous delivery when you can take catches like these. Forde came running down the wicket looking to generate pace on the length ball. Ended up getting a bit too close to the ball and dragged the slog off the thick inside half down the ground. Rabada kept his eyes on the ball and put in a full length head-first dive to grab it inches above the turf. Top effort from the senior pro. Forde c Rabada b Corbin Bosch 16(12) [6s-2]

Corbin Bosch to Roston Chase, FOUR, overpitched outside off! Chase opens the bat face late and slices the drive past the leaping fielder at backward point to his right

Linde to Forde, SIX, clean as a whistle! Made room, picked the full delivery off his pads and smashed the slogsweep for a mighty maximum over mid-wicket

Kwena Maphaka to Roston Chase, FOUR, edged and past the diving keeper! Chase looks to dab the length delivery and gets a thick outside edge that flies past Rickelton to his right, raced away in a hurry...

Maharaj to Forde, SIX, ends the powerplay with a six does Matthew Forde! Comes charging out of his crease, gets close to the delivery and lifts it neatly back over the bowler's head. The timing was good enough to clear the ropes...

Maharaj to Rutherford, out Bowled!! Maharaj has two. Remember, he has not bowled a single over in the powerplay of the SA20 league. Keeps the ball tight on off stump and gets it to drift and spin with extra bounce. Rutherford was stuck in the crease and tried to poke it away with his top hand. The ball snaked back in and took the inside edge before going on to hit the bails. Rutherford b Maharaj 6(6) [4s-1]

Maharaj to Rutherford, no run, Maharaj was confident, he had a quick word with the keeper and convinced Markram to go for the review. It was on a length and hit Rutherford plumb in front of middle stump. If only it had pitched in line with the stumps. If only...

Corbin Bosch to Rutherford, FOUR, off the mark with a boundary is Sherfane Rutherford! 142ks pitched up around off, Rutherford stays still and crunches it all along the ground in the gap to the left of cover

Corbin Bosch to Brandon King, out Bowled!! Dragged on. Corbin Bosch goes wide of the crease and bowls a 138ks length ball wide of off stump. King looks to slog leg-side and ends up dragging it off the thick inside edge back onto the stumps. Both the openers back in the hut now. Brandon King b Corbin Bosch 27(16) [4s-5 6s-1]

Corbin Bosch to Brandon King, FOUR, anything full and Brandon King has been severe on it. Cross-seam delivery outside off and Brandon King drives with a high elbow past the fielder at mid-off to his left

Maharaj to Charles, out Bowled!! Knocks him over. Slider that skids on from a fullish length to hit the middle and off stump. Charles went low looking to sweep and missed it completely. The ball arrived a tad later than expected and beat him on the under edge. Charles b Maharaj 13(9) [4s-1 6s-1]

Maharaj to Charles, FOUR, quicker and a shade outside off, Charles makes room and slashes it in the gap between the fielder at backward point and cover. Superb placement...

Maharaj to Charles, SIX, sinks to one knee, picks the full delivery from middle stump and sweeps it flat for a 63-metre maximum over square leg

Rabada to Brandon King, FOUR, once again, shuffles to the leg-side and spanks the length ball in the gap to the left of extra cover

Rabada to Brandon King, SIX, nailed! Rabada goes touch fuller on the stumps, Brandon King runs down the track and slaps the drive up and over extra cover for a 93-metre maximum

Linde to Brandon King, FOUR, Brandon King knew what was coming. He sensed that Linde would be tight on the stumps and made plenty of room to stay leg-side and smash it up and over the fielder at extra cover

Rabada to Brandon King, FOUR, what timing! Rabada overpitches on middle stump and King drives gorgeously down the ground past the non-striker. The timing takes care of the rest...

Rabada to Brandon King, FOUR, no sighters needed says Brandon King. He gets a full ball in the channel outside off and it has been slapped nonchalantly over mid-off to his left. Excellent timing and placement!
