New Delhi. As cricket is progressing, the dominance of T20 and T10 formats is increasing. The rain of fours and sixes has reduced the number of Test cricket viewers. But all the cricket viewers who watch Test matches should keep an eye on the South Africa and West Indies series. The second Test match of the series started between these two teams on 15th August. There was no rain of runs in this match, but there was definitely a fall of wickets, which both teams fell prey to. One team crossed the score of 100 while falling hard, while the other is still in limbo.
The South African team is currently on a tour of the West Indies. The bowlers are dominating the second test match between the two teams which started on August 15. The African team came out to bat first on the first day of the match, but its innings could not go beyond 160 runs. At one point, South Africa was in danger of being bowled out for less than 100 runs. Thanks to Dane Piedt and Nandre Burger, who came in to bat at number 10 and 11, who saved the team’s honour by making a partnership of 63 runs for the last wicket.
South Africa had lost 9 wickets for 97 runs at one point. After this, Dane Piedt and Nandre Burger batted brilliantly and took their team to 160 runs. Dane Piedt scored 38 and Nandre Burger scored 23 runs. Shamar Joseph took the maximum 5 wickets for West Indies. Jayden Seals took 3 wickets. Jason Holder and Gudakesh Moti took one wicket each.
After bundling out South Africa cheaply, West Indies must have been hoping to take the lead, which they did not get at least on the first day. Like South Africa, West Indies batsmen also disappointed their team. They lost 7 wickets in reaching 97 runs. Now all their hopes are on Jason Holder, who is unbeaten on 33 runs. Out of the 7 West Indies batsmen who were out, 5 could not even touch double figures. After Holder, Casey Carty (26) scored the most runs. South Africa’s Wiaan Mulder took 4 wickets.
