South Africa vs West Indies 1st Twenty20 at Port Elizabeth
Windies start with win
Dec 16, 2007
West Indies began their tour of South Africa with a five-wicket win in a rain-affected Twenty20 match in Port Elizabeth on Sunday.
In a game reduced to 13 overs per side due to bad weather, the Windies had their hosts reeling on 22 for seven at one stage before Johan Botha came in and struck 28 not out from 22 balls. He was the only Proteas player to manage double figures, though, as they finished on 58 for eight.
Chasing 59 to win, West Indies wasted little time and reached 60 for five with 19 balls to spare.
Runako Morton hit 20 while Twenty20 debutant Brenton Parchment struck 10 and Denesh Ramdin 12 not out to guide the tourists to victory.
Dale Steyn continued his impressive form with the ball with figures of four for nine - the best bowling figures for South Africa in Twenty20 internationals - in a losing cause.
Man of the match Jerome Taylor claimed three for six from his three overs.
