11.05pm The celebrations are on in full swing in the West Indian camp. SA have lost 9 wickets for 28 runs to be skittled for 76 and are still searching for their first win over WI in the WWT20. Defending champions West Indies seal their second win and move to the top of Group A. Taylor ends with career-best figures of 4 for 12.
Taylor, Player of the Match: It's not a shoulder injury, but a neck injury, but I pushed onto take wickets. I think we definitely need to improve in the batting and put more runs on the board. I tried to take the pace off and bowl more into the wind
Van Niekerk: Very disappointed and what can we say with a batting display like that. I can't fault the bowlers and the batters aren't doing any justice to the bowlers. We spoke about the full face of the bat, but we're not doing it at the moment. We didn't play against just the XI, we played against the whole crowd. Credit to them, they deserved the win.
Taylor, again: We knew there wasn't enough runs on the board and we just wanted to bowl in good areas. I said to the girls we just have to go out there and bowl our hearts out and dive around. Fantastic to see this crowd. CPL was great, surprised to see this crowd here.
That's all we have for you from this game. Goodbye and good night for now
