WI vs SA: Keshav Maharaj Hat-Trick Sends West Indies Spinning

By IANS News June 21, 2021 • 22:58 PM View: 1877

Keshav Maharaj completed only the second-ever hat-trick by a South African in Test history as the West Indies slid to 109 for six, in pursuit of a daunting target of 324, at lunch on the fourth day of the second Test of the two-match series at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in St Lucia on Monday.

With the home side primarily concerned about the potency of the Proteas’ pace attack, reinforced by two early strikes from Kagiso Rabada and then a third scalp courtesy of a poor shot from Kyle Mayers, it was the left-arm orthodox spinner who ripped the heart out of the innings in the penultimate over of the session.
