South Africa extend their winning streak in one-dayers against West Indies to ten, and the Dominican crowd see their team go down for the fourth time in four matches at Windsor Park.
It became a lot closer than South Africa would have liked towards the end, especially after Hashim Amla's controlled hundred and Jacques Kallis' half-century had put them in command. de Villiers and Duminy couldn't find the boundaries for a long spell, and the match could well have ended in West Indies' favour if the Bravo brothers had accepted one of the chances offered to them by Duminy. de Villiers picked off 18 runs off a Pollard over to seemingly settle the issue but three dot balls when one was needed off four took the game to the final delivery.
Post-match presentation
Gayle: "I'm very disappointed, credit to Bravo for the way he bowled the final over. We got 300, but I felt we were still 30 short given the start we got. Amla's batting also took the game away from us. It's heart-breaking for the fans, such a big turnaround for which I thank the fans. Very disappointing in the middle, too many dot deliveries. Benn didn't have nay injury, we asked him to do a job and he couldn't deliver so it doesn't make any sense. "
Gayle sounded pretty emotional there, used the word 'disappointed' at least six times, and had some very harsh words for Sulieman Benn.
Smith: "Very happy to have chased 300-plus. We were perhaps a bit conservative towards the end, but Hashim was excellent and it good to win."
Hashim Amla is the Man of the Match. "I try and keep the ball on the ground if the game allows it, when the form is good things seem to fall in place."
The final game of the series is on Thursday. Join us then to see whether South Africa can pull off yet another clean-sweep against West Indies. That's it from us for now, good night and thanks for all the mails.
