West Indies beat Proteas in super over at the Wanderers to take a 1-0 series lead

Johannesburg — Deandra Dottin returned in the super over and bashed the West Indies to victory in the second ODI against South Africa at the Wanderers on Monday.

The West Indies opener, who made 150 not out in the first match last Friday, and then an aggressive 37 off just 31 balls in the tourists innings Monday, took 19 runs off the first five balls of the ‘super over’ bowled by Shabnim Ismail - striking two fours and a six - and with Hayley Matthews smashing the last ball of the over for six, SA were asked to make 26 to win.

Chloe Tryon hit the first ball for six, but it was the only ball she and Tazmin Brits were able to clear the ropes with to hand the tourists the advantage with two matches left to play in the series.

Why Ayabonga Khaka, who claimed career-best figures of 5/23 didn’t bowl the ‘super over,’ is something the South Africans will mull over in the next few days.

Khaya was magnificent and got the Proteas back into the contest - along with skipper Sune Luus, who picked up two wickets in an over as South Africa fought grittely in defence of a modest total.

A 54-run partnership for the seventh wicket between Chinelle Henry and Chedean Nation had steadied the West Indies and seemingly put them on the way to victory.

The pair came together after South African captain Sune Luus had dismissed Stafanie Taylor and Shermaine Campbell in the 21st over to provide the Proteas with a route back into the match.

Nation, playing her 50th ODI and Henry, who had already produced a stellar effort with the ball earlier, showed patience, taking any singles that were on offer,
