Quinton de Kock– South Africa
On Saturday, Quinton de Kock played his first T20I match in 2021. Opening the batting, he smashed 37 runs off 24 balls and laid the platform for the visiting team. In his knock, he amassed two fours and as many sixes.
In the end, it had been Andre Russell, who accounted for his wicket just after the mandatory powerplay. The onus will again get on the southpaw to require his team off to a flier.
Fabian Allen– West Indies
Fabian Allen was one of the star performers for the Caribbean team, though he didn’t the Player of the Match award. In four overs, he picked up the crucial wickets of Reeza Hendricks and Temba Bavuma, who both had gotten their eyes in.
Moreover, the left-arm spinner bowled at a frugal economy rate of 4.50, meaning that runs were hard to return by off his bowling.
WEST INDIES
West Indies produced a dominant display within the opening T20 match of the series with South Africa because the hosts ran out eight-wicket winners with their efforts with the bat standing call at the large victory.
A solid display with the ball, led by Fabian Allen who finished with figures of 2-18, left the Windies needing 161 to win but that never looked unsure after a gap partnership of 85 between Andre Fletcher and therefore the impressive Evin Lewis.
Lewis was eventually out for an excellent 71 run effort off just 35 balls and he was the catalyst behind his side chasing down their target with five overs to spare which has set an outstanding platform for the hosts to create during this five-match series.
SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa’s poor T20 form continued as they were blown away by the West Indies in their opening clash of the series and if they are doing not improve quickly, they might find themselves wanting to win the ultimate three matches in succession.
Rassie van der Dussen was the stand-out batsman for the Proteas with an unbeaten knock of 56 from 38 balls as he helped his side to a good total of 160/6, although that proved to be nowhere near enough.
The bowling unit couldn’t handle the facility of the hosts as they struggled to form inroads and managed just two wickets in response with the Windies easily reaching their target, toying with the South Africa pacemen.
