First Victory!

In a closely fought contest with South Africa, West Indies have notched up their first win of the season.

After a narrow lost to New Zealand last week, the Windies decided to spring a mild tactical surprise with a dusty pitch and 3 spin bowlers against South Africa

Eventually, the ability of the Windies spinners to constrict the South African attack in the middle overs left the Windies to chase 247 to win – a target the happily dusted off without too much drama.

The result means the Windies pick up their first win on the Road to the Season 13 World Cup.

South Africa are left in the unenviable position of having lost both of their opening matches; alongside quite amazingly recent World cup winners England; who the Windies will play next after a week off.

With such unpredictable results, tactical surprises and international rivalry, it’s going to be quite a journey to the World Cup.
