Tahir leaves West Indies in a mess
February 27, 2015  15:11
 WI 103-7 (25 ovs) vs SA 408-5 | Scorecard

Time for some bowling practice as part-timer Faf du Plessis comes into the attack.

Holder clips the first ball on the leg side for a couple before he gets a single and Ramdin taps a full toss to long-on for another single. Just four runs from that over as du Plessis makes a tidy start to his spell.

Holder gets his second six as he makes room and lofts Tahir over the long-off fence. The leg-spinner, who is looking for his fifth wicket, has gone for 17 runs in his last two overs.

The two leg-spinners will bowl in tandem as du Plessis dishes out another tidy over, conceding just six runs.

Holder looking in good touch as he plays a delightful drive against Tahir through the covers for a four. Ramdin cuts a short ball from du Plessis past point for a four to take West Indies past the 100-run mark.

After 25 overs, West Indies are 102 for seven with another 307 needed for victory at an asking rate of 12.24. They need another 17 runs to avoid the humiliation of biggest defeat margin in ODIs history, which is 290 runs between New Zealand and Ireland in July 2008.
