'We Fell Short': WI Captain Brathwaite Reflects On 40-run Defeat Against SA

West Indies: West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite has lamented his team’s inability to capitalise on a strong bowling performance in their 40-run loss to South Africa in the second Test at Providence Stadium.

Despite bowling the Proteas out for just 160 in the first innings, the West Indies fell short, failing to take a crucial lead and ultimately succumbing to defeat, resulting in a 1-0 series loss.

Choosing to bat first, the West Indies bowlers, led by Shamar Joseph's sensational five-wicket haul, had South Africa reeling at 97 for 9. However, a resilient 63-run last-wicket stand between Dane Piedt and Nandre Burger pushed South Africa to a total of 160. In response, the West Indies were dismissed for 144, conceding a slender 16-run lead that proved costly in the end.
