Keshav Maharaj took a hat-trick as he bowled South Africa to a 158-run victory over the West Indies in the second Test, to make a clean sweep of the two-Test series at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Starting the day on 15-0 in pursuit of 324 for victory, West Indies were in the game at 107-3 at one stage after lunch.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Then, left-arm spinner Maharaj claimed a hat-trick as he ended with 5\/36 off 17.3 overs. He became only the second South African to perform the feat in Test history.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Left-hander Kieran Powell defied the South African bowling for two-and-a-half hours to top score with 51 runs, which included nine boundaries, but could not save his team from a defeat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Powell fell when he tried to launch Maharaj into the on-side but was caught by Anrich Nortje on the midwicket boundary. Next ball, the world's top-ranked Test all-rounder, Jason Holder, was caught at short-leg by Keegan Petersen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
This was followed by Joshua da Silva, who was caught at slip by Wiaan Mulder off Maharaj for a duck.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
West Indies lost captain Kraigg Brathwaite early as he edged Kagiso Rabada (3\/44) to South African skipper Dean Elgar at first slip.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rabada then accounted for Shai Hope and had Kyle Mayers (34) to end with five wickets in the match, which helped him secure the Player-of-the-Match award.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The teams will now travel to Grenada for the five-match T20I series, starting on June 26 at the National Stadium.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brief scores: South Africa 298 and 174 beat West Indies 149 and 165 (K. Powell 51, K. Mayers 34; K. Rabada 3\/44, K. Maharaj 5\/36) by 158 runs.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/06\/south-africa-beat-west-indies-by-158-runs-in-2nd-test-clinch-series-2-0.jpg", "alt_img": "Cricket Image for South Africa Beat West Indies By 158 Runs In 2nd Test, Clinch Series 2-0", "alt_title": "West Indies vs South Africa", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "South Africa Beat West Indies By 158 Runs In 2nd Test, Clinch Series 2-0 On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Keshav Maharaj took a hat-trick as he bowled South Africa to a 158-run victory over the West Indies.", "seo_keywords": "Keshav Maharaj, South Africa tour of West Indies, West Indies vs South Africa ", "tag": "", "tagging": "Keshav Maharaj,South Africa tour of West Indies,West Indies vs South Africa ,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "south-africa-beat-west-indies-by-158-runs-in-2nd-test-clinch-series-2-0", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "2021", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2021-06-22 10:24:42", "updated": "2021-06-22 10:24:54", "img_from": "Image Source: Twitter", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": "West Indies, South Africa, WI v SA, Keshav Maharaj, Keshav Maharaj Hatrick, ", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "21", "jio_date": "2021-06-22 10:24:42", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2021-06-22 10:24:42", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "england_cricket": "0", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/south-africa-beat-west-indies-by-158-runs-in-2nd-test-clinch-series-2-0-78428" }
