The batting performance of the West Indies team in their first innings was excellent, but they could hold on to their wickets. They lost four wickets on the third day due to which they are still under a lot of pressure and can increase the number of runs comparatively. West Indies still need to collect huge runs to meet the target given by South Africa, 212 runs are still left for West Indies. If West Indies collect 212 runs, the West Indies team will be likely to lead later in this first Test match. But if the batsmen are going to play for 212 today, they must play responsibly with only six wickets remaining. That's why West Indies need to have a great batting performance, and if South Africa team can bowl well, then West Indies can fulfill their target in today's match.
West Indies batsmen tried to play responsibly but they could not do it. Already four wickets have fallen out of their 145 runs, even among these four wickets none of the batsmen has been able to touch the half-century. Two reached three-figure quota and one batsman was dismissed for 42 runs. I think West Indies still have time to play patiently and form a responsible pair with the two batsmen currently at the crease. Based on which their team can put up a strong score.
West Indies could not score too many runs. Earlier, the team lost four wickets. But I feel West Indies are slowly moving towards their target. Because West Indies batsmen are batting very slowly. Their only aim is to stay at the crease. And they want to draw the match. We know that West Indies are very weak in Test format. And the chances of West Indies winning against South Africa are naturally very slim. This is why the West Indies players are trying to draw the match. As two innings are not completed even on the third day. And just West Indies lost 4 wickets. It is expected that the team will try to survive at least 30/40 overs in the coming days. So the match is more likely to be a draw now.
South Africa scored 357 runs in the first innings, I wouldn't say they scored too many runs because we often see such scores in Test format. West Indies need 212 more runs to surpass the 357 runs given by South Africa at the moment, which means they have to bat more patiently.
Had South Africa scored 400+ in the first innings they would have been in the safe zone and their chances of victory would have increased. But 357 runs cannot be called a big collection. However, the match was delayed due to rain. Now probably both teams are moving towards a draw. There is a high chance of rain in the coming days. So it is foolish to expect South Africa to win.
