Khaka fifer helps Proteas force a tie in second ODI, but Dottin powers WI home in super over

Ayabonga Khaka's superb five-wicket haul helped South Africa to a tie against the West Indies in the second ODI at the Wanderers on Monday, but Deandra Dottin's amazing hitting in the super over saw the West Indies home.

The West Indies now lead the five-match series 1-0 after Friday's opener was washed out. 

After Shabnim Ismail trapped Shakera Selman leg before with the scores level in the 38th over, Dottin hit 19 of the 25 runs in the super over.

South Africa responded with 17 through Chloe Tryon and Tazmin Brits, but Dottin again proved to be the difference between the sides.

However, the loss should not take the gloss from Khaka's first fifer in ODI cricket that allowed her team to defend the paltry 160 they scored when they were given first use of a tricky pitch.

Khaka (5/26) had taken the key wickets of Dottin and Hayley Matthews and came back later to snare two more wickets, but a cool-headed partnership between Chedean Nation (35) and Chinelle Henry (26) nearly took the visitors home.

Inspired bowling though from SA's premier fast bowler, Ismail, forced the tie and the super over.

While Rashada Williams (1) and Kycia Knight (3) were the customary walking wickets that saw the visitors slip to 32/2 in the seventh over, the big wicket was that of Dottin (37).

She was inexplicably given a life when Nonkulukelo Mlaba (0/38) grassed a simple catch at mid-on off Masabata Klaas.

Khaka then yorked her and made sure Dottin didn't puncture the bowling as she did on Friday during the first clash between the two teams.

That left the run-scoring responsibility to Stafanie Taylor (21) and Matthews (4). 

The latter didn't display the patience that was a hallmark of her 50 on Friday and gave Ismail (1/28) an excellent running catch off
