She shared a vital opening stand with captain Laura Wolvaardt, who added 75 off 76 deliveries (7 fours), as South Africa posted 278\/6 in 45.5 overs before rain brought an early end to their innings.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>In reply, the West Indies were restricted to 121\/9 in 27.5 overs while chasing a revised DLS target of 288 from 39 overs. Seamer Masabata Klaas starred with the ball, claiming career-best figures of four for 25.<\/div>\n<div>Put in to bat for the third consecutive match, South Africa\u2019s openers made an aggressive start. Wolvaardt and Brits tore into the West Indian attack, racing to 83\/0 in the powerplay.<\/div>\n<div>Both batters cruised to half-centuries, with Brits reaching her fourth ODI century in style. The breakthrough eventually came when spinner Afy Fletcher (3\/53) had Brits caught, ending the 184-run opening stand in the 27th over.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>As South Africa passed 200, the West Indies struck with three quick wickets. Fletcher removed Wolvaardt and Nondumiso Shangase (9), while Hayley Matthews (1\/46) dismissed Sun\u00e9 Luus (4), leaving the tourists at 207\/4.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>A rain delay followed shortly after Luus\u2019s dismissal. When play resumed, Marizanne Kapp (34*) anchored two useful partnerships, 27 with Sinalo Jafta (11) and 32 with Annerie Dercksen (12), before both were dismissed by Jahzara Claxton (1\/48) and Aaliyah Alleyne (1\/36) respectively.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Kapp and Chlo\u00e9 Tryon helped lift South Africa to 278\/6 in the 46th over before another rain interruption brought their innings to a premature end.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Following more rain delays, the West Indies were eventually set a revised target of 288 in 39 overs.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>With the bat, the hosts suffered four early blows as Klaas and Kapp (1\/7) ripped through the West Indian top-order, dismissing Matthews (8), Qiana Joseph (1), Zaida James (1) as well as Chinelle Henry (0) for just 10 runs within four overs before the heavens opened up again.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Upon resumption, Nonkululeko Mlaba (2\/25) joined in, removing Jannillea Glasgow (8) and Shemaine Campbelle (12) to leave the Windies reeling at 40\/6.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>A defiant partnership between Alleyne (32) and Claxton (43) briefly lifted spirits, taking the total past 100. However, Klaas returned to break the stand, and Dercksen (2\/1) closed out the innings with two wickets in a single over, as the hosts were restricted to 121\/9. Former captain Stafanie Taylor did not bat due to an injury sustained earlier in the match.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The series now shifts to the T20 format, with the first of three matches scheduled for Friday, 20 June at the Three Ws Oval.
