The second one-day international was a great match of cricket, with both captains scoring centuries. On a flat deck, all of the bowlers were cleaned. Shai Hope’s magnificent 128* was the driving force behind the West Indies’ 335-run first innings total. Gerald Coetzee took three wickets, while Shamsi and Fortuin, both spinners, took two.
Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma responded with a strong start. Bavuma went on to score 144 runs, but the other batsmen didn’t help him. There was some messy handling from the guests yet it didn’t cost them as they took wickets routinely and won by 48 runs eventually. Another high-scoring match is anticipated when the final One-Day International takes place at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom.

Pitch Report
Senwes Park’s pitch is generally regarded as batting-friendly, providing batsmen with good pace and bounce. At Senwes Park, ODI first innings scores typically hover around 230. The surface is usually firm, and the ball slides nicely onto the bat, making it easy for the batsmen to hit their shots. It is a big field, and as the game progresses, the pitch is likely to turn. Spinners may also be used. The fast bowlers, on the other hand, will likely be the most important for both teams because they will try to take early wickets and put pressure on the opposition.
Weather report
The temperature will associate with 23 degrees with the sun expected to radiate through the mists. Dew is anticipated to play a role in the contest because there will be periods of cloud cover in the evening. Since there was only one day between the two games, it will be interesting to see how well the field has been prepared for the second one.
