Cricket Prediction | West Indies vs South Africa | 3rd T20I | May 27– Let’s see whether WI whitewash RSA. 

WI vs RSA Match Analysis

In the last T20I, South Africa will play the West Indies. On May 27, at 12:30 AM IST, the game will occur at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica.

In the series’ first two T20Is, WI has been thorough. They defeated SA by a resounding 28 runs in the opening game, and they followed that up with a 16-run victory in the second. West Indies had scored 175 and 207 runs in the first two innings thanks to the explosive hitting of the team. The spinners have stifled SA for runs with the ball.

The middle order appears out of touch as the players have failed to score in both games, despite SA’s improved performance in the second game where they scored 191 in a chase of 208. The fact that they are playing a second-string squad and the key players are unavailable for the series won’t worry the team, though.

WI vs RSA Team Preview & Squads

West Indies

Brandon King will be pleased with his teammates’ performances. In this series, he heads a diminished team, but the players have performed as anticipated. To increase their confidence ahead of the World Cup, the captain has led from the front and will want to continue doing so in this match.  

Having performed admirably in both games, Brandon King will try to light up the scoreboard early in this matchup with Johnson Charles. The squad anticipates that Kyle Mayers, Roston Chase, and Andre Fletcher will forge relationships in the same way that they did in the last game. In the lower middle order, Fabian Allen and Akeal Hosein provide strength to this hitting group.

The bowlers performed admirably in the final overs of the previous game, but Kyle Mayers and Roston Chase need to get early wickets for the side. Gudakesh Motie needs to do well in the middle overs with Obed McCoy and Shamar Joseph since he has caused problems for the South African batsmen in both games. The team’s bowling options are increased by Fabian Allen, Romario Shepherd, and Akeal Hosein.

South Africa

It is his teammates who will let Rassie van der Dussen down. They have bowled badly in both games and after a fantastic start to their run chase, the middle and lower middle order threw away the last game. The team will be under pressure to prevent a series rout, and van der Dussen anticipates a more competitive effort from his group.  

We want to build on the outstanding starts that Reeza Hendricks and Quinton de Kock gave us in the previous game. The team’s middle order is their weak point, thus they need to form alliances with Matthew Breetzke, Ryan Rickelton, and Rassie van der Dussen. The club looks to good hitters like Wiaan Mulder, Andile Phehlukwayo, and Bjorn Fortuin for their contributions. 

In both games, there have been subpar bowling performances. After doing admirably in the last game, Bjorn Fortuin and his seasoned partner Lungi Ngidi need to get going quickly. To put pressure on the hosts, Nqaba Peter and Anrich Nortje need to bowl better lines in the middle overs. Mulder and Andile Phehlukwayo should not have let up runs like they did in the previous game.

WI vs RSA outfield report

Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica

The team that batted first prevailed in both contests. Run chases become more challenging in the second half as the wicket slows down. The team that wins the toss will choose to bat first because we anticipate that this pattern will continue.

On May 26, there will be cloud cover across Jamaica. 

To score runs, batsmen must play carefully because the wicket aids the bowlers. A score above 180 runs on this wicket will satisfy the team that bats first.
