INNINGS BREAK

Live Score South Africa 122/8 after 20 Overs: So South Africa end up with at least something on the board. At one stage it looked like, South Africa will struggle to go past 110. And after Quinton de Kock and David Wiese partnership South Africa were hopeful of going over 130-run mark. Imran Tahir and Co. will have to bowl well now.

David Wiese Out! Dwyane Bravo gets the wicket. Looking to up the ante, Wiese skies the ball and Darren Sammy takes the catch near cover. He was looking dangerous. Wiese c Sammy b Dwayne Bravo 28(26) 

Quinton de Kock Out! Andre Russell bowls him! Looking to play the paddle shot, de Kock misses the line and his leg stump is knocked out. He falls three short of his half-century. Nevertheless a fine knock under pressure from him. de Kock b A Russell 47(46) Chris Morris is the new man in.

Live Score South Africa 78/5 after 13 Overs: Quinton de Kock and David Wiese partnership is now worth 27 off 22 balls. The duo need to bat on for three-four overs more. And then accelerate in last five overs.

Live Score South Africa 50/5 after 9 Overs: Quinton de Kock is still out there. South Africa need him to hold fort. If South Africa post something over 120 from here that will be an achievement. Maybe that is what South Africa will be targeting.

David Miller Out! Chris Gayle strikes! Half the South African side is back in the hutch now. Gayle goes through Miller’s defence. Miller was playing with angle, misses the line of the ball and all ends up. He is bowled! No celebration from Gayle, as if nothing happened. That is a different kind of celebration though. D Miller b Gayle 1(4).

AB de Villiers Out! Dwayne Bravo strikes! Change in bowling does the trick for West Indies. He deceives de Villiers with a slower one. That goes through him and all ends up. DJ Bravo has his dancing shoes on. No end to the celebration, he knows the importance of this wicket. de Villiers b Dwayne Bravo 10(12)

Live Score South Africa 44/3 after 7 Overs: Sulieman Benn into the attack. He bowls an economical over, gives away just five runs. West Indies not allowing South Africa batsmen to settle down. South Africa in search of some big overs here.

Live Score South Africa 39/3 after 6 Overs: That is end of powerplay overs. West Indies are off to a good start. For Proteas it now depends on AB de Villiers and Quinton de Kock. This has to be big partnership for South Africa. Darren Sammy is manoeuvring his bowlers.

Rilee Rossouw Out! Chris Gayle strikes! He goes hard on the off-side, looking to go over cover, could not hit it properly. Ends up hitting it towards the backward point.  Rossouw c A Russell b Gayle 0(2) 

Faf du Plessis Out! What a catch! Sulieman Benn takers a good low catch. Third umpire pressed into the service and he reckons du Plessis is out. It is a neat and clean catch.

Hello and welcome to India.com’s live coverage of South Africa vs West Indies at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. It is a big match in Group 1 as both teams have their eyes set on the semis berth. Stay tuned as we bring you the updates.

Build-up: West Indies have won two games out of two and occupy the top spot on the points table. A victory here in this fixture almost means a place in semis for The West Indies as they face minnows Afghanistan next. The Darren-sammy-led side has been in good form and with couple of spinners in their squad, the pitch at Nagpur might suit them. Also Check- ICC T20 World Cup 2016 Schedule

On the other hand, defeat for South Africa will mean an early exit from the tournament. Proteas will be wary of that and will be looking to dish out a strong performance. In their first match, South Africa was stunned by England. Proteas could not defend the mammoth 229 and lost the match.
