WI v SA, 2nd Test: Van Der Dussen And Rabada Put South Africa In Charge After Top Order Collapse

By AFP News June 21, 2021 • 10:45 AM View: 1615

Rassie van der Dussen's unbeaten 75 and support from Kagiso Rabada saved South Africa from a complete second innings collapse as they recovered from 73 for seven to eventually be dismissed for 174 on the rain-shortened third day of the second Test against the West Indies in St Lucia on Sunday.

That left the home side with a daunting victory target of 324 to level the series after they were thrashed by an innings and 63 runs in the first Test at the same Daren Sammy Stadium venue a week earlier.
