The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 runners-up South Africa suffered their third-consecutive T20I series loss at the hands of the two-time T20 world champions West Indies as they lost the 2nd T20I of the three-match series by 30 runs.
Playing at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, South Africa’s skipper Aiden Markram won the toss and chose to field first. Windies couldn’t hit the ground running and lost the wicket of Alick Athanaze inside the powerplay.
Senior batter Shai Hope injected some momentum into West Indies’ run rate after the powerplay but perished in the ninth over at an individual score of 41.
The Player of the Match (POTM) in the first T20I Nicholas Pooran couldn’t replicate his heroics from the previous game and was undone by Lizaad Williams.
