3rd ODI 2015: South Africa vs West Indies | Cricket Highlights

As spineless display from the West Indies top-five was to blame for another poor result, just three days after losing to South Africa by 148 runs. Over Dwayne Smith made just five runs before being caught behind by admittedly a super ball from Vernon Philander, Smith though is far from an ideal opener, averaging only 18.89 in ODI Cricket. Chris Gayle is also looking dangerously out of sorts with the World Cup around the corner having passed 50 runs just once in 15 One-Day innings. West Indies misery carried over into their fielding as well with lazy attempts at catches & fielders looking disorganized and pathetic. By star contrast South Africa were clinical in their chase of a 122, run-machine Hashim Amla & Faf du Plessis both made half-centuries in what would have been one of the easiest days at the office of their careers. With 9 wicket win South Africa take the series 3-0 with two matches left, West Indies on the other hand have more questions & answers. While the Proteas appear a sharp unit just in time for the trip down under.
