Electing to bat first, South Africa has made 408 for 5 against the West Indies in their Pool-B match of the ICC World Cup here today.
Hashim Amla and Faf du Plessis hit patient 60s to set up the South African innings. This laid the platform for the South African captain to come in and do what he does best, make a mockery of the bowling attack.
AB de Villiers smashed 162 off a mere 66 balls. His innings was studded with 17 fours and eight sixes.
The only hope West Indies has of chasing this daunting target is Chris Gayle. Remember is last innings of 215?
Brief Scores:
South Africa: 408 for 5 in 50 overs (A B de Villiers 162 not out, Andre Russell 2/74).
