Shares they will rest well but also prepare well for the next game. 

Kraigg Brathwaite says they missed out with the bat, it is not good enough to bat under 100 overs in both innings.

Reckons it was a top effort from the bowlers in the second innings and hopes to come better in the next game. Says they have to be more mentally prepared.

...Presentation time...

The start was superb by the home team. Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram laid up a good foundation. It looked like South Africa will score around 400 but the final session of Day 1 saw them crumbling down and losing their foot. Alzarri Joseph ended with a five-fer. It was sort of same for the Windies. Raymon Reifer batted well with a couple of contributions from others but just like hosts, lost it in the final session of Day 2. This time it was Anrich Nortje with a five-fer. The way pitch was playing, it shows how valuable the knock from Aiden Markram was in the second innings. Jermaine Blackwood tried to replicate the same but to no avail. 

West Indies had less than 250 to chase this down but were put under serious pressure by some pace bowling of Rabada. No one apart from Jermaine Blackwood turned up for the chase. Joshua Da Silva and Jason Holder showed some intent but lost their wickets and once Blackwood fell, it was over for West Indies. If only there was some contribution from top order. West Indies would have given a tough fight. 

South Africa take the lead in the two-match series. The game started to heat up in the third session. We saw most wickets fell on the final session of Day 1 and Day 2. South Africa had a 130-odd runs lead at the end of Day 2 and Aiden Markram was key on both innings. A splendid century in the first innings and a valuable 47 in the second with a key cameo from Gerald Coetzee to put a par score to defend.

A fantastic win by South Africa. This game went full throttle as it progressed. Who thought this match will end so quickly but that's how the pitch was playing. It was a beauty for the bowlers to bowl and South Africa came up on top in each session.
