Live Cricket Score - West Indies v South Africa, 2nd T20I, Grenada

Allen's heroics go in vain

Despite Allen's heroics, West Indies slid to a defeat in the 2nd T20I. The all-rounder smacked Rabada for two sixes and then proceeded to club Ngidi for three sixes in the last over but he had too much to do. However, it was hitting of the highest order! For the tourists, Rabada and Linde played key roles with five scalps between them.

One more falls

One brings two and even three. The fortunes of both sides continue swing back and forth. Russell has now slogged Linde to deep midwicket. The all-rounder just couldn't resist while facing a tossed up delivery.

South Africa edge ahead

Fletcher and Pooran tried to consolidate but Linde bowled a couple of tight overs to keep the West Indies on their toes. The spinner was also rewarded with Lewis lifting one to the fielder at long-on.

Shamsi, his spin partner, then tempted Pollard to try the slog sweep, only for him to find the fielder at midwicket.

65 for 4. South Africa are slowly gaining the upper hand!

Nortje, Rabada dent WI

For a while it seemed as if Lewis and Fletcher would give another rousing start. To make matters worse for the visitors, Fletcher was dropped by Hendricks off Rabada. However, in the nick of time, Nortje sneaked through Lewis' defence. Some respite for the visitors.

Rabada followed up his pace partner by sending the experienced Gayle back to the hut. Game on!

Splendid comeback

Just three runs in the final over! South Africa have slid from 96 for 1 in the 11th over to 166 for 7. McCoy turned out to be the star performer for the Caribbean side by picking up a three-for. The left-armer used his variations to good effect. On the other hand, the tourists would be disappointed, especially after the start they got.

The review works again for the Windies

It is only getting worse for South Africa. McCoy used his variation - the slower one - to remove Linde lbw. Once again not given by the on-field umpire, but Pollard got it reversed via the review. The hosts have been superb with the review today. For a moment, it felt as if the ball would go down leg but it wasn't to be.

Russell rattles the timber

The slide continues. The timber has been shattered. Russell's ability to surprise the batter did the trick as he beat Van der Dussen's attempted sweep. Four down and South Africa's hopes of reaching 200 are fading quickly.

Bavuma, the skipper, then was removed by Jason Holder. Excellent comeback from the home team.

Sinclair to the fore!

Sinclair and a double strike! The spinner has now dismissed Hendricks lbw. The opener looked for the reverse lap but could only connect with the thin air.

Hendricks placed his belief in the review but to no avail. Obed McCoy, known for his variations, then prised out the dangerous Miller. The hosts slowly clawing their way back into the game.
