South Africa posted 230 for six against the West Indies in their must-win Group B match of the ICC Champions Trophy in Cardiff on Friday. Opener Colin Ingram hit 63-ball 73 laced with six fours and two sixes while skipper AB de Villiers hit a 25-ball 37 after South Africa were invited to bat first under overcast conditions at Sophia Gardens. South Africa's fifth-wicket pair of Miller and Faf du Plessis (32-ball 35) put on display some sensational strokeplay at the business end of the innings and added 68 runs in just 48 deliveries to put their side in the driver's seat. The match started three hours and 15 minutes late than the scheduled toss due to inclement weather, reducing it to a 31-over-a-side encounter. The match was reduced by 19 overs each way, with the Powerplay adjusted to nine overs a side, with six mandatory overs upfront, and three for the batting Powerplay. Brief score: South Africa: 230 for 6 in 31 overs (Colin Ingram 73, David Miller 38 not out; Dwayne Bravo 2/43).
