AB De Villiers Leads South Africa to Huge Win over the West Indies

South Africa (408/5) bt. West Indies (151 all out) by 257 runs.

AB de Villiers produced one of the great World Cup displays at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday to see his side to a convincing 257-run victory over the West Indies, the Proteas' second win of the tournament.

The Windies were in good shape as they restricted South Africa well with the ball for the first 35 overs, before De Villiers turned on the style.

He scored 162 runs in just 66 balls—for the fastest ODI 150 of all time—to see South Africa to a total of 408. B/R UK provided a full overview of De Villiers' innings, showing his huge hitting in the latter overs:

In response, West Indies fell to 151 all out in an almost impossible chase.

South Africa won the toss and chose to bat, but it was relatively slow going early on. Quinton de Kock fell to Jason Holder for 12 in the sixth over before Hashim Amla and Faf du Plessis built a decent partnership.

The pair took South Africa past the 100 mark—both scoring half centuries—before both fell to the bowling of Chris Gayle in the 30th over, leaving the Proteas 146-3.

That brought skipper De Villiers to the crease with his side struggling slightly, but he turned things around in unbelievable fashion.

Rilee Rossouw's fine 61 off 39 balls will be forgotten—he was eventually dismissed by Andre Russell—and with good reason, as De Villiers' performance was something to behold.

His first 50 runs came from 30 balls and he went on to punish the Windies even further, launching the ball to all areas of the ground despite perfectly reasonable bowling.

De Villiers' century—the second fastest in World Cup history—came from 52 balls as he aimed to put South Africa out of sight.

And he did just that, with Holder bearing the brunt of the assault. The West Indies skipper's final figures providing nightmare reading for the youngster—he went for 104 runs from 10 overs.

Former England spinner Graeme Swann aptly summed up De Villiers' performance, per BBC Sport:

From a relatively edgy position, De Villiers smashed his side to the second highest World Cup total ever—hitting 17 fours and eight sixes—cricket writer Freddie Wilde illustrating just how brutal the latter overs were for the West Indies:

"

South Africa just scored 214 runs off their final 78 balls. If they played a T20 at that rate they'd have scored 329. #CWC15 #SAvWi #SA #WI

De Villiers now has the fastest fifty, hundred and 150 in ODI cricket, and he was understandably satisfied with his knock on Friday, per BBC Sport:

"

It was a very enjoyable knock today. The foundation from the boys at the start freed me up. I had a bit of luck here and there. I'm not a huge fan of setting targets but halfway through the innings we had plans in place of reaching 300.

"

Chasing 409, the West Indies started poorly, with star man Chris Gayle going for just three in the second over, clean bowled by Kyle Abbot.

Marlon Samuels fell soon after for a duck before Jonathan Carter was dismissed controversially by Morne Morkel. The dismissal came when he should have had a free hit, per ByTheMin Cricket:

"

WICKET! Morkel gets away with a mahoovsie no ball, next ball Carter carves away to mid wicket. Whose there..AB. Of course he catches it!

The very next ball, David Miller took a fine catch on the boundary to dismiss Dwayne Smith for 31, and Lendl Simmons soon followed, failing to refer his lbw dismissal despite having clearly edged the ball onto his pad.

Holder scored a spirited 56 as he looked to add some respectability to his side's score before he holed out to Amla off the bowling of Dale Steyn.

Tahir was the main man with the ball for the Proteas, taking five wickets for 45 as the West Indies eventually crumbled to 151 all out, South Africa claiming a 257-run victory, the joint-largest win in World Cup matches.

The West Indies are still on for qualification to the quarter-finals having won two of their previous matches at the World Cup, but their net run rate took a beating on Friday.

South Africa, meanwhile, hotly-tipped to go all the way at this World Cup, have made their first real impact in the tournament, and if they continue such form they will be a huge challenge for any team.
