Mark Boucher (23 off 21 balls) and Lance Klusener (23 off 28 balls) ensured that the South Africans, however, stayed in the hunt. The final over - bowled by Merv Dillon - saw the Proteas needing 13 runs for victory. Shaun Pollock smashed the first ball, a shin-high full-toss, over long-on for six, but departed next ball. Klusener, often the finisher for South Africa, fell with three runs to be made off two balls. The sixth ball was called wide, and the bye that Nicky Boje ran anyway brought the young fast bowler Alan Dawson on strike. The scores were level as Dillon came in to bowl. Dawson took a swing at the delivery which went on to take the edge of the bat and began racing towards the third-man boundary. Dawson and South Africa had edged past Dillon and the West Indies.
