Andrie Steyn, Sune Luus guide Proteas to series success after 6-wicket win in deciding ODI

Andrie Steyn and Sune Luus batted South Africa to a six-wicket win and a 2-1 series success against the West Indies at the Wanderers on Sunday.

They reeled in the West Indies' 175 with 61 balls remaining, with Chloe Tryon's unbeaten 20 off 17 that contained four fours extinguishing any hopes the visitors had of a late collapse.

Their departures saw South Africa slipping to 56/2 in the 12th over, but the steadying hands of Steyn and Luus initially saw off the early threats before settling into their strides.

Steyn's fifth ODI 50 came off 70 balls, but she was immensely disappointed not to see the game through when she was castled by Anisa Mohammed (2/31) with victory in sight. 

Mohammed had also accounted for Luus and at 150/4, the West Indies may have felt they had a sniff.

Tryon was not having it and four clean punches to the boundary settled matters. The sides will
