South Africa and the West Indies battled each other, with both innings reduced to 42 overs a side due to the inclement weather, in the 5th and last ODI of the Series, at SuperSport Park, Centurion.
The inclement weather and lots of rain during the night and morning already delayed the Toss and accordingly the match, which was due to start at 13:30 SA Time on Wednesday 28 January 2015, but started quite a while later.
Prior to the start of the game, South Africa had already won 3 of the ODI’s and the West Indies 1, in the series of 5 ODI’s.
The West Indies won the toss and elected to bowl first.
South Africa notched up a massive 361 runs for the loss of only 5 wickets, with both Rilee Rossouw and Hashim Amla getting their tons (Rossouw – 132, off 98 balls & Amla – 133, off 105 balls).
The West Indies never looked like getting to the target, with wickets falling regularly, Marlin Samuels top-scoring for them (50 runs, off 47 balls).
South Africa won the match by 131 runs, hauling the West Indies all out, after 37.4 overs.
South Africa took the Series by 4 games to 1.
South Africa: 361 / 5 (42 Overs)
West Indies: 227 / 9 (37 Overs)
South Africa won by 131 runs

Weather here looks very gloomy, and I would think the same applies in Centurion.
The ground here is already so saturated with water that it hardly sinks away or flows away, it just sits there… but then again our place is not exactly designed for optimum drainage, like SuperSport Park, Centurion.
AB de Villiers is sitting this game out, resting, Amla comes back in and captains the side… and Quinton de Kock is back in after his ankle injury.
Dale Steyn, Philander, Morkel & Tahir should be the 4 prime bowlers (unless some sit out resting as well)… and either Kyle Abbott or Wayne Parnell or Aaron Phangiso will be the 5th bowler.
Just started raining here again… I somehow see a reduced overs game happening today.
@ grootblousmile:
Actually started getting a bit brighter here in Centurion over the last 10 minutes.
Check here!!
Geez when rilee scores he goes beeeg
306/3
Rilee out on 132 from 98 balls.
Amla still there on 127 from 103 balls. Both shared a record 3rd wicket partnership of 238 runs.
3 overs left
Seems like Proteas running away with this. Phew been a crazy busy phew days, and not gonna get any quieter, at least work is done for now.
Is Bok van Blerk any good? He is going to be singing at Sarries on Saturday hope he is good.
Windies reeling… they’re now on 225 / 9 after 36.4 overs.
Will never make it, as they need 137 to win off just 32 balls.
7 @ Bullscot:
He is good… but unfortunately an arrogant and pompous ass (from personal experience, at a function)
Windies all out for 230 runs.
Blomme win by 131 runs.
9 @ grootblousmile:
Hi GBS thanks, oh well will hopefully enjoy it anyway, had a search and found a bit from a live concert and listened although it wasn’t the best quality recording, wonder which songs he will sing, baring in mind it will be in England…
5.5 = Number of innings per century for Amla, the best for any batsman who has scored at least ten ODI centuries.
2nd is Kohli @ 6.71
3rd is AB @ 9.05
4th is Tendulkar @ 9.22
Amla also has the best batting average of these 4 greats, but AB has the best strike rate.

People say AB is a (batting) genius … what then is Amla?
It suddenly occurred to me how privileged we South Africans are to have 2 such all time great batsmen playing for us in the same era, in the same team, & how daunting this must be for the Proteas’ opponents (Last time this happened was in that all too brief, but glorious period when SA cricket had Graeme Pollock & Barry Richards playing in the national team).
Go Proteas! Go all the way …
