West Indies Women 94-4 (Dottin 26, King 21no) beatSouth Africa Women 93-8 (Smith 22no) by four wickets
The West Indies Women beat South Africa Women by four wickets in their first Twenty20 International in Paarl, just as they had gone 1-0 up in the ODI series last week.
Batting first, South Africa made 93 for eight, Alicia Smith, the heroine of the final tied ODI, making 22 not out before the West Indians chased down their target in just 12.3 overs.
Deandra Dottin top scored with 26 but Stacy-Ann King finished things off in some style, smashing 21 in just 13 balls at the death with three fours as she shared an unbroken fifth-wicket stand of 40 to put the West Indians 1-0 up in the three-match series.
Smith had earlier made 22 in 16 balls, also unbeaten at the end of her side's innings after Shemaine Campbelle picked up three for seven and Shanel Daley and Taylor a brace apiece.
Only three other players, Trisha Chetty (12), Kirstie Thomson (10), and Mignon du Preez (18), reached double figures as South Africa struggled.
The second and third matches take place on 26th and 28th October.
