Fine spell from Tino Best (1/12) went in vain as the rest of the West Indies Legends' bowling unit proved expansive.
Earlier, in the first half, Paul Harris (3/21), Albie Morkel (2/31), Johan van der Wath (1/14) picked up six wickets between them to help South Africa Legends restrict the opponent to 143/8 in their allotted 20 overs.

The South Africa Legends, however, opened their account on a winning note.
