Chris Gayle's innings wasn't quite up to his own standards as he started off very steadily and couldn't gear up at latter stages in the innings, yet that made a positive difference in the first innings as West Indies could go close to 170.

Dale Steyn was SA's second most successful bowler. He forced to remove Lendl Simmons and Darren Sammy right after they came to bat without letting them have a chance to settle and snatch bunch of runs at a swift rate like they do more often.

The final scorecard for second innings was :
Score: 162
Wickets : 7
Overs : 20.0

Kieron Pollard with his medium pace managed to pick three wickets which included dismissal of two important batsmen from SA's top order that resulted into their troublesome start to the chase in the second half of the play. Pollard continued to bowl well, picked his third and hauled the victory from South Africans' fists.

David Miller played a steady knock but couldn't accelerate his innings properly as he ate up too much deliveries to score, hence his performance was proven incapable of winning a match.

Samuel Badree was able to produce an economic spell as he took absolute advantage of the pitch when it was assisting spinners with the turn. As well as he picked the crucial wicket of well settled Rilee Rossouw at a vital time in the game which saw changing course of the match in his side's favor.

Very disappointing loss that. On a green deck I thought 160 odd was a fantastic effort by the batsmen. Bowlers let us down big time. Need to get back to winning asap.

Spoiler: Fixture

7th Match, Pool B: Australia v Zimbabwe at Chandigarh
Pitch: Flat

8th Match, Pool A: Bangladesh v Sri Lanka at Bengaluru
Pitch: Flat

9th Match, Pool B: Pakistan v New Zealand at Nagpur
Pitch: Sticky

10th Match, Pool A: West Indies v Ireland at Kolkata
Pitch: Hard

11th Match, Pool B: India v Afghanistan at Mumbai
Pitch: Uneven

12th Match, Pool A: South Africa v England at Dharmasala
Pitch: Green

Spoiler: Pitch description

Hard - A hard pitch with a lot of bounce on offer, and will suit batsmen who play on the back foot well. The ball is bound to reverse swing in the end.
Uneven - Great pitch for teams batting first, and bowlers who can bowl reverse swingers later in the innings. Ideal to produce matches like this.
Sticky - Offers no swing, spin or seam whatsoever. The worst pitch to play cricket on.
Flat - It's simply a road.
Slow - Slow pitch, the ball comes on to the bat late. But runs can be scored quite easily off the bowlers once set.
Dusty - Great pitch for spinners and all sorts of batsmen.
Green - A heaven for fast bowlers and players who play on the back foot well.

Spoiler: Statistics

Will be available after round 2.

We played well. But unfortuately fell short of 20 Runs. Bowlers were expensive. One change to be made to line-up.

Well, absolute domination by the batsmen on both sides. Really good from Hales and Butler, impressive striking, and Bangladesh made me worry more than I thought they should've after our batting performance, well played to them.
