00:00trying to tie him up in terms of giving him absolutely no room to work with
00:06there's a first wicket he is an impact bowler Matthew Ford yeah you talk about
00:13the young man being impressive Ryan Rickle said he won't be impressed with
00:17that shot backed away that's a nice looking stroke from the captain got a
00:25little bit of weight and he's so powerful square of the wicket on the
00:28back foot this sweep comes out executed quite well playing with the turn that's
00:39very very good from it mark room straight to the field in that middle
00:48position so the pressure of being proactive with
00:53this field placing working in favor of Matthew Ford at the West Indies who's
00:58the second field into the leg side almost expecting him to hit at leg side
01:02Aiden Markram just sits in the surface yeah and that's an excellent catch
01:09and this will be a chance of first wicket for Joseph in this series that
01:16it's very first delivery not the best of deliveries but they'll take it the West
01:21Indies have got three first ball in test match cricket first ball in this
01:26series leading edge and traveling all the way to deep third absolutely no
01:33mistake from Hakeem Hussain he's so good Tristan Stubbs slowly approaching one of
01:41the most innovative players in the world for shots like that was there a feather
01:50on it they're celebrating and the fingers raised Joseph again golden arm
01:55his second over remember he took a wicked first ball of his first over
02:00again similar lined delivery this time another feather through really nicely
02:11timed and that is his potential that he's shown at different stages of his
02:16short career so far straight to the fielder and that familiarity Hussain
02:26gets Ferreira again
02:30the excellent bit of captaincy from Ruffman Powell Ferreira trying to
02:35deliberately go over the field over the infield but nothing of elevation and the
02:41other left-hand orthodox Gurakesh Moti makes absolutely no mistake looking to
02:50see if he can get something moving and it does go out towards the bigger side
02:54and there is enough on it from Kruger he still has a look at the bottom of the
02:58bat
03:02pumped down to long on and on to the roof that's a massive hit from Tristan
03:09Stubbs they're turning it on Stacy and King that's in the gap precision from
03:19Kruger and they will find an early boundary in the over pumped in front of
03:28square he was setting himself for a yet another slow delivery and he was ready
03:33for it on this occasion Shepard edge and there will be another boundary which
03:41will mark the 50 partnership between these two 53 to be exact after 1495 for
03:48five in the gap doesn't stop it Gurakesh Moti running around brings up
04:00the hundred for South Africa so not a boundary less over from Shamar Joseph
04:05103 for five after 15 innovation from Tristan Stubbs that's a shot we've seen
04:14from him very often executed to perfection on this occasion and he
04:22strikes again brilliant from Matthew Ford he's having an outstanding game
04:29yeah you can hear it yeah you can do absolutely no wrong Matthew Ford into
04:35the attack he's kept the needed wickets and he has got the big man just a high
04:46class shot from Tristan Stubbs he soaked up some pressure while Kruger was going
04:54at the other end it's his chance now to accelerate that's hit the bat that bat
05:02and hit the gap quite nicely back-to-back force
05:07miss field and that's where Stubbs was aiming to give himself room to hit it
05:18through extra cover or over he's just such a good player he's a wonderful
05:28player in the making his second t20 international half-century six and 17
05:42off the over Tristan Stubbs 59 149 for six
05:51yes oh no and that sneaked over the boundary Akhil Hussain and that went to
05:58his strong hand and another no ball my goodness there's a ramp shot might be on
06:06Wow that's for it ricocheted off Romario Shepherd and still enough power on it to
06:16get for four always a risk with the short fine leg in play this is some
06:27exhibition of batting from Tristan Stubbs 70 now from 40 Wow that is some
06:39muscle that has cleared that 74 meter bow and be the end of him but it has
06:50been a very impactful innings yeah we have cried out for pace been taken off
06:58on the surface
07:05youngest double time for South Africa
07:11and from 42 for 5 South Africa end at 174 for 7 this time plays the
07:21conventional one and it's a maximum into the smaller boundary as well
07:27that's one of his strengths that is extremely good from Shea home top class
07:43well-controlled shots from Shea hope understanding where backwards fair was
07:48able to find a boundary Weston he's growing in confidence 34 for none
07:54Andre Berger it's well enough even into the big side of the ground I don't think
08:03it came off from that indication they are the absolute middle of the bat but
08:08it's travel for six nice he got the width and the deep third and actually
08:18gone wider as opposed to being an Orthodox deep third position smart from
08:24companies and after they sweeps himself to another boundary
08:37yes and it's proving expensive here as well nice lovely ball striking from
08:44Shea hope
08:54a little blooper that should have been stopped
09:03that looks as though it has distance on it this has been a magnificent power
09:08play 75 without loss
09:16yep not a strong down that area you see that's good good length and the opening
09:22partnership is finally broken by O'Neill Batman spoke earlier about his
09:27scoring areas and this wasn't one of them hitting down the track didn't quite
09:32get the elevation he wanted and an easy catch for Aidan Markram
09:42over long off and that is the sheer power of Nicholas Furan and he doesn't
09:47miss out on his matchup
09:53and that is glorious middle up easy pickings for Nicholas Furan
10:03attempted pace off he has crunched that back to back sixes pressure on
10:13this is majestic T20 batting from the best in the world
10:19three sixes in the over
10:25nicely done by Shea hope he's been going at a good strike rate he's got a half
10:31century and it's his fourth in the format
10:41on target he is has that not slipped down the leg side Gregory Brathwaite
10:45Brathwaite says no he's happy but the review has happened straight away
10:51here comes ball tracking original decision out pitching in line impact in
10:55line wickets umpires call I'm ready to go back on field Greg Greg you can stay
11:01with your out decision you're on screen signal now this is on the path
11:08runs continuing with the shorter length is my partner but straying a little bit
11:14leg side
11:18onto it so quickly he picks up the length early and it's sails over the
11:24boundary rope
11:27wonderful betting from Nicholas Furan takes him to a half century six sixes in
11:33the innings it was very very full can't quite get under it but he can place it
11:40well enough
11:45that deserves a round of applause but he generates so much power with those quick
11:53hands that has cracked off the bat
11:57yeah the change in feel prior to that delivery sort of telegraphed the line
12:05he's got a wicket first international wicket for Quayne Amapaka and he's
12:12high school yeah absolutely brilliant for the young man he's not giving up the
12:20fight he's hung in there and that is what it means to the young man and that
12:26should be the winning touch
12:30hope the bats of Ruston chase but Nicholas Furan will take many or much of
12:37the plaudits but don't forget how Matthew Ford and company set this up
12:42with the ball after a wonderful recovery by that guy stops beyond 14 and Kruger
12:50but the West Indies achieve their highest successful run chase in the
12:56Caribbean for seven years their second highest in the Caribbean overall a win
13:01here by seven wickets in Taruba in South Trinidad of the Brian Lara Cricket
