South Africa vs West Indies at a glance

• The most recent five of the seven games South Africa played against the West Indies were victories.
• In the previous game, South Africa’s openers Quinton de Kock and Reeza Hendricks set up a 152-run partnership.
• The inability of the West Indies bowlers to defend the large score in the previous game will leave them lacking in confidence. 

South Africa vs West Indies Team Preview

South Africa

With 259 runs scored in 20 overs at the Centurian, South Africa set a new record for the best chase in T20 international history. The Proteas, spearheaded by their star southpaw Quinton de Kock, broke their three straight defeats and kept the series alive.

It is unlikely that SA will alter their starting XI following their record-breaking chase at Centurian. Bjorn Fortuin can be included in the lineup, considering the state of the field.

West Indies

Johnson Charles had led the West Indies to 258 runs by making the quickest century by a West Indian, and West Indies would be distraught after the defeat in the second T20I. (took eight fewer balls than Chris Gayle). Yet, because no bowler had an economy rate under 10 runs per over, their bowling unit was a run leak. The away team will be eager to get revenge in Johannesburg given the huge stakes.

There shouldn’t be any changes to the starting Eleven of the visiting team for the third T20I because there are no injuries.

Wanderers Stadium Johannesburg

It is a high-scoring environment, making total defense difficult in the past. The team that wins the toss in this match shouldn’t hesitate to choose to bowl first. 

On March 28, Johannesburg’s weather is predicted to be partly cloudy with a risk of light rain.

Over the years, the pitch has been favorable for batting because of its true pace and bounce. To keep the game close, the team batting first would aim for a score of more than 200.
