WI vs SA 2nd Test Day 1: Shamar Joseph's deadly bowling destroyed South Africa's batting lineup

Shamar Joseph bowled brilliantly in the second Test being played between West Indies and South Africa in Guyana. He has taken 5 wickets for just 33 runs in 14 overs. Thanks to Joseph's sharp bowling, West Indies bundled out South Africa for only 160 runs in the first innings. Apart from Joseph, Jaden Seals also took 3 wickets. During this, four batsmen of South Africa could not even open the account and Tony De Georgi was dismissed after scoring just 1 run.

South Africa won the toss and opted to bat first. Aiden Markram, along with Tony De Georgi opened the innings, but Jaden Seals rattled them in the fourth over itself with the first blow. The first wicket itself sent Georgie to the pavilion for a score of just 1. Right after that, Shamar Joseph stormed in and sent both captain Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram to the pavilion. Tristan Stubbs was sent by Jason Holder, while Joseph dismissed Bedingham to roll out half of South Africa's innings.

The sensation of Shamar Joseph did not end here, as he completed his 5-wicket haul by sending back Kyle Verreynne and Keshav Maharaj. And thus South Africa's first innings collapse came to an end at 160 runs. After that, Wiaan Mulder destroyed the West Indies' innings and took 4 wickets. At the end of the day's play, the West Indies scored 97 runs by losing 7 wickets with Jason Holder being at the crease. West Indies are still behind South Africa's first innings by 63 runs.
