South Africa complete ODI series sweep against Windies
June 4th, 2010 - 12:47 pm ICT by ANIPort of Spain, June 4(ANI): South Africa beat West Indies by one wicket in the fifth ODI at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain to complete a 5-0 sweep in the series.
Chasing 253 for victory, Hashim Amla (45), Jacques Kallis (57) and J.P. Duminy (51) provided the momentum for South Africa’s response, but a late collapse gave the home side hope of victory.

West Indies captain Chris Gayle led the home bowling attack, taking 2-38 from 10 overs, while Kieron Pollard grabbed 2-42, The Sydney Morning Herald reports.
Earlier, Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s 67 and 53 from Narsingh Deonarine had helped the West Indies side to a total of 252 for 6.
Chanderpaul also shared crucial partnerships with the Bravo brothers, Darren (17) balls and Dwayne (26).
The experienced left-hander put on 51 off 83 balls with left-hander Darren, then 41 off 58 deliveries with Dwayne.
Deonarine, with assistance from Pollard (25) and Darren Sammy (19 not out) lifted the tempo in the closing stages. (ANI)
