West Indies vs South Africa, 4th T20I at St George's, WI v SA, Jul 01 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary

That's all from our side for this game. See you soon.

Kieron Pollard, who the Player of the Match as well: In a game like this, you have to come hard. It was a must-win game for us. I hadn't faced enough deliveries in the last few games, so gave myself a bit of time. We speak about batting till the end, and we have power-hitters till the end. It's not a perfect world but we got the result in the end. I think we did fairly well in the powerplay. For us, it's about regrouping again and give it one more push. We knew we had to make up Allen's overs. Having McCoy and Bravo do well and Russell bowling his four overs was great. [On Gayle's quip of not getting another over straightaway] That's why he got the last over and he was supposed to get a wicket. He didn't and we need to have chat now. He [Bravo] has nothing to prove. We need to cherish these guys because at times we hear a lot of chatter from outside.

Temba Bavuma: I think looking at our bowling display, majority of the innings we bowled well but in three overs we didn't hit our straps well. But they came hard at us at the death. Our spinners came to the fore and they stopped things in the middle apart from picking up wickets. The conditions have suited the slower bowlers, seamers too have been resorting to cutters. The momentum was on their side but as batters, we are disappointed. Quinton was the lone ranger.

5.55pm So, West Indies draw level as a total of 160-odd proves to be just enough for the third game in a row and this time South Africa end on the wrong side. They have been depending de Kock a lot and need others to step up as well with bat. West Indies put up an excellent show with the ball despite losing Fabian Allen to a shoulder injury. Bravo finished with 4 for 19, while Russell picked up two. But the win was set up by a blazing half-century from Kieron Pollard, who chipped in with a wicket as well.

Around the wicket. Called a dead ball as Rabada wasn't ready

30 needed from six balls. Gayle to bowl

AlistairDiamond: "This is absurd. Why make Nortje run for no reason?"

The umpires are sanitising the ball

Simon: "I don't know on what basis people question Ngidi's place in the team because it can't be stats. Average 18, strike rate 12. Both stats way better than Rabada, for instance, and he is only a bit more expensive"

Nortje finally makes an appearance

Lungi Ngidi but he's at the other end. South Africa could be bowled out here. Around the wicket

Akshit : "Faf and Morris in place of Markram and Ngidi should do the Proteas some good. Also Bavuma as in a t20 side will always be a question mark, leave alone captaincy."

Shamsi now. Don't think Nortje is coming out

42 needed from last three. West Indies got 43 from last two
