their bit to take the Windies past the finish line. The South African were guilty of inconsistency as their bowlers, despite taking regular wickets, failed to keep a lid on the scoring rate. For the Caribbean team, pacer Tremayne Smartt was the top wicket-taker, grabbing two while conceding 43 runs in her 10 overs. She was well-supported by fellow pacer Shanel Daley, who picked up one wicket after giving away 39 runs in her 10 overs. South Africa were off to a slow start, managing 22 runs in 10 overs. They lost their first wicket on the same score when opener Yolandi Potgieter departed after contributing just seven runs that came off 35 deliveries. Next batter was skipper Mignon du Preez, who combined with Chetty to put on 62 runs for the second wicket before falling to leg-spinner Shaquana Quintyne. Chetty was the third South African wicket to fall when she was clean bowled by medium-pacer Deandra Dottin. Chetty sent down six fours in her 74-ball knock. The next best contribution to the South African total came from Brits, who was rather quick with her scoring taking just 41 deliveries to gather 44 runs. She smashed four fours and a couple of sixes in an entertaining cameo. Lower down the order, Dane van Niekerk came good with an unbeaten 33 that came off 30 deliveries and included two fours and a six.
