West Indies NAT One Day Tour 2- Division 2 Summaries
West Indies vs South Africa
A lost toss on an uneven deck with humid weather meant that the West Indian side was put into bat. Young keeper Leon Jumadeen had a tough time navigating the Proteas bowling attack and was out soon. Hubern King got into a partnership with Leonard Arthur to get the runs flowing, and all batters contributed with bits of innings. King got 29, Arthur, Len Thomas, Hemraj Walsh got to double digits and Melford Griffith played a beautiful 27. The surprise pack was at the end of the innings when Sugrim Hughes smacked 2 boundaries as he played a 20*(22) making the management ponder over the reason to tour batters. West Indies got a 142 runs on the board, thanks to Hughes hits at the end, a total that seemed pretty middling as the surface showed showed that it wasn't the easiest to bat on.
Debutant Colin Oscopy got a wicket in his very first over to start things off for West Indies. Consistent wickets meant West Indies had reduced South Africa to 58/5 with Michael Stewart, Sugrim Hughes and Troy Joseph all getting scalps. But a mammoth partnership between Gerrit Neethling, who scored a fifty, and Klippies Hodgetts snatched away any and all hope that West Indies had. To really add to the pain, Neethling was dropped once and Hodgetts was dropped twice through the course of the innings as the West Indian fielders simply gave their opponents a chance to win and they nabbed it with both hands, finishing the chase with 7.1 overs to spare.
Other Results in Division 2

The World Cup winners will face West Indies on an uneven deck and under humid weather as West Indies would look to beat the streak of 6 consecutive losses against the Dutch in official matches. West Indies are currently placed fourth on the table with one win and one loss as the Scottish side take the third spot owing to better net run rate.
