It was an amazing day of batting from South Africa on 18th January 2015 against West Indies at the famous Bullring, Johannesburg in the 2nd One-day Internationals.

West Indies captain Jason Holder won the toss and asked South Africa to bat. The openers Hashim Amla and Rilee Rossouw gave a solid foundation for the team by adding 247 runs for the first wicket of 38.3 overs.

Then the AB de Villiers’s show came, as he plundered the West Indies bowlers to all parts of the ground and smashed the fastest century in ODI cricket off 31 balls. The star batsman continued his aggressive approach remaining not out on 149 off 44 balls.

South Africa posted a massive total of 439 for 2 in 50 overs at a run rate of 8.78 runs per over. Chasing 440 to win, West Indies batsmen managed to score 291 for 7 in 50 overs. South Africa won that match by 148 runs.
