STUBBS: PROTEAS MUST KEEP WINDIES BATTERS QUIET

- Jacques van der Westhuyzen

A DAUNTING TASK

It doesn’t get any easier for the Proteas in the T20 World Cup as they next face the daunting task of taming a West Indies team which, like the South Africans, recorded a bit of a statement win earlier this week.

A day after the Proteas beat hosts India in Ahmedabad by a whopping 76 runs in their first Super Eights game to announce themselves as a team to look out for, the West Indies piled on 256 runs in their 20 overs against Zimbabwe in Mumbai and then bowled out their opponents for 147 to win by 107 runs.
