South Africa vs West Indies Team Preview
We anticipate that South Africa will improve on their ODI results now that their best pace bowlers are back in the lineup. In this game, they will be exceedingly challenging to defeat.
Middle-order batsman Aiden Markram, who was named captain at the beginning of this month, will lead South Africa for the first time during this series. Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje, who were both rested for the ODI series, will rejoin the team for this match.
West Indies made an impression in the second ODI and entered a new era of white ball cricket. We anticipate them to play aggressively, but they might have trouble against a powerful South Africa team.
After being named to the position in the middle of last month, Rovman Powell now leads the West Indies. In this series, an experienced team that struggled in the last two T20 World Cups will be led by the middle order batter.
