On an eventful third day of the second and final Test on Saturday, South Africa defeated the West Indies by 40 runs, solidifying their dominance over the Caribbean team. After setting a challenging target of 263, the West Indies, despite a remarkable performance from fast bowler Jayden Seales—who took six wickets for 61 and dismissed the Proteas for 246 in their second innings—were bowled out for 222. In a dramatic turn of events, Seales became the last wicket to fall just minutes before the close of play, dismissed by man of the series Keshav Maharaj, who secured his 13th wicket of the series with a short-leg catch by David Bedingham.
