CLOSE OF PLAY
South Africa have just registered a quite comprehensive victory against hosts West Indies by 67 runs. South Africa had practically won the match after their massive total in the first innings and they completed the job with a good all round bowling performance. West Indies made 289/9 with Sarwan playing very well for his 92 and tailender Daren Powell made an exciting 47 not out. West Indies lost early wickets and it was only the tail that delayed the South African victory. South Africa are still in the running to make the Semis while the West Indies need a miracle to stay in the tournament. Man of the Match is AB de Villiers for his innings of 146.
