SA vs WI Predicted Playing XI
South Africa Playing XI
Reeza Hendricks, Quinton De Kock, Temba Bavuma, Rassie Van Der Dussen, Tristan Stubbs, Ryan Rickleton, Andile Phehlukwayo, Wiaan Mulder, Sisanda Magala, Lungi Ngidi, Lizaad Williams
West Indies Playing XI
Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran, Jason Holder, Roston Chase, Rovmann Powell, Odean Smith, Akeal Hossein, Romario Shepherd, Shannon Gabriel
Pooran’s form has been a concern and now he comes in as a player after stepping down from captaincy. He is a part of a West Indies line-up which is full of firepower as they bat super deep, allowing Pooran o play the way he is known to play, with a lot more freedom around him.
Sisanda Magala
After some fitness struggles Sisanda Magala has made himself heard. He now looks a lot tougher to leave out as he consistently picks up wickets, and looks very promising, which has also allowed him to earn a central contract.
SA vs WI Match Tips
