SA-W vs WI-W Probable Winners:

South Africa Women have beaten the West Indies Women in three of their last four T20Is. Both squads are at full strength and, on their best day, can defeat any team in the league. The West Indies have plenty of all-rounders but rely too heavily on their captain. South Africa appears to be much more balanced and strong. As a result, we believe they will be dominant in this contest. Considering the team combination, South Africa-W is expected to win this match.

The second T20 was an event to remember. Over 500 runs, record breaking centuries, and a chase of nearly 260 with an over to spare on a track that was as flat as it could be. The momentum is completely with South Africa, who pulled of the unthinkable.

Nicholas Pooran

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 to 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

South Africa, after an adrenaline testing game have all the momentum on their side. West Indies though will be having some doubts after failing to defend a target as big as 259.

SA vs WI, 3rd T20I Preview

After experiencing undoubtedly the greatest T20I match in history, South Africa and West Indies will square off for the third time in a row on Tuesday at The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg to decide the outcome of their respective series. After a combined total of 517 was scored in less than 40 overs in the second T20I, the stage is set for an epic contest between these two nations. South Africa scored 259 runs in 20 overs at the Centurian, the highest-ever chase in T20 international history. Breaking their three-game losing streak in the format, the Proteas not only kept the series alive, but did so in style, led by their marquee southpaw Quinton de Kock.

Topmost Picks for SA vs WI Dream11 Prediction, 3rd T20I:

Top Picks – South Africa

• Quinton de Kock: Redeeming himself by scoring a solid century in the 2nd T20I, De Kock will be expected to counter-attack the WI bowling lineup in the upcoming game as well.
• Kagiso Rabada: Having conceded the least runs in the entire 2nd T20I, Rabada will be looking to register wickets against his name in the decider.

Top Picks – West Indies

• Johnson Charles: Despite scoring 118 runs at a strike rate of 256, Charles saw his team not winning the contest.
• Rovman Powell- He took all that charge in the middle overs to thrash African bowlers. Rovman Powell played a blistering knock of not out 43 runs from 18 balls at a strike rate of 238.88.

Wicketkeeper – Quinton de Kock

SA vs WI 3rd T20I Probable Winners:

Looking at both squads, the West Indies batting unit looks more dangerous than South Africa’s. There is no doubt in stating that the 3rd T20I does have the ingredients and potential to go down the wire. With both teams having their marquee batsman in fine form, their respective spinners might be the x-factor in deciding the outcome of this game. Citing this, we predict South Africa to beat West Indies to clinch the series 2-1 in Johannesburg. Considering the team combination, South Africa is expected to win this match.

Rain killed the fun with an interesting and explosive game being reduced to a mere 11 overs a side match. Both teams still displayed incredible batting strength with David Miller and Rovman Powell stepping up nicely on either sides.

SA vs WI, 2nd T20I Preview

South Africa is hosting the 2nd T20I of the series against West Indies at SuperSport Park in Centurion on 26th March 2023.  Visitors registered a victory in the rain-affected first game, which is why the upcoming game will be important for South Africa if they are eying to save the series. Both teams have power-packed batting lineups, showing their hitting capacity in the series’ first game. It will be interesting to see how both teams’ bowling units perform in the 2nd game to change the dimensions. Likes of Anrich Nortje and Sheldon Cottrell have huge responsibilities from their respective sides to deliver with the ball. Africa’s openers are struggling to score runs, which is a big concern.

• Sisanda Magala– This time with the ball, bowled a brilliant spell of 3 wickets for 21 runs in his 2 overs but didn’t get support from other bowlers to put pressure on opponents.

SA vs WI 2nd T20I Probable Winners:

Looking at both squads, the West Indies’ batting unit looks more dangerous than South Africa’s. The power-hitting capabilities of the West Indian team, give them an advantage in the upcoming game against the hosts. However, South Africa is a very strong side, particularly in this format with the ball, and we are backing them to win this opening clash. Considering the team combination, South Africa is expected to win this match.

SA vs WI, 1st T20I Preview

After South Africa won the Test series before the ODI series finished 1-1, South Africa and West Indies begin their IT20 series on Saturday afternoon in Centurion. This is the first time that both sides play in this format since the conclusion of the 2022 T20 World Cup. With their top pace bowlers back in the side, we expect South Africa to go up a level from their ODI performances. They will be very hard to beat in this match. West Indies are in a new era of white ball cricket and impressed in the second ODI. We expect them to play in a very attacking manner but they may struggle against a strong South Africa side.

• Quinton de Kock- the opener hit four IT20 scores in a row of 69 not out, 68, 47 not out and 63 in October last year and is a match winner in this format.
• Anrich Nortje- the right-arm pace bowler has risen to be South Africa’s leading all-format bowler. His best figures in this format are 4-10.

Top Picks – West Indies

• Brandon King- the opening batter has hit six IT20 centuries in his career and has a top score of 132 not out across all T20 fixtures.
• Rovman Powell- the new skipper is one of the most powerful middle-order hitters in world cricket. He is particularly strong in the latter overs of an innings.

SA vs WI 1st T20I Probable Winners:

After a very competitive ODI series was shared by the two teams, we are expecting another close contest to begin the IT20 series. Under new leadership, we anticipate West Indies to be playing with a new attitude that enables their talent to be realized. However, South Africa is a very strong side, particularly in this format with the ball, and we are backing them to win this opening clash. Considering the team combination, South Africa is expected to win this match.

West Indies showed some spark in the ODI series until Henrich Klaasan ripped them apart in the third ODI. The T20 format too has been a concern for them, with West Indies failing to qualify for the main draft of the World Cup last year as well. South Africa too have not done too well in T20s with consistency being a concern. They have a new captain now in Aiden Markram as South Africa ring in the changes.

SA vs WI Match Tips

West Indies have the depth but South Africa look a lot more skilled. They have a new captain as well and it will be interesting to see what he has to offer.

Match Prediction: South Africa Will Win the Match

SA vs WI, 3rd ODI: South Africa 264 for 6 (Klaasen 119*, Joseph 3-50) beat West Indies 260 for 9 (King 72, Fortuin 2-46) by four wickets

In a non-Super League match, South Africa defeated West Indies to level the series thanks to Heinrich Klaasen’s second century in one-day internationals. On a fairly level surface in Potchefstroom, South Africa were 87 for 4 and chasing 261 when Klaasen shared a half-century with David Miller and a 103-run partnership with Marco Jansen. He then scored the fourth-fastest century by a South African to defeat the target.

The outcome prevented the West Indies from winning their first series against a team ranked in the top eight and their third away bilateral series since 2011. They have likewise always lost a two-sided ODI series in South Africa and last guaranteed a fifty-over prize here a long time back, when they were fruitful in a three-sided series which further elaborated Pakistan.

Upon reflection, West Indies will examine their middle order’s performance, which squandered a strong start by losing 6 for 96 between overs 19 and 40 after being 110 for 1. They did not bat out their overs, but they did score 50 runs off the last 50 balls they faced, giving the attack something to defend. Their bowlers made a strong start against a South African lineup without Quinton de Kock (rested) and Temba Bavuma (injured), but Klaasen’s clean hitting made it impossible for South Africa to win with more than 20 overs left.

After Alzarri Joseph’s vicious opening period and the departure of stand-in captain Aiden Markram, Klaasen was called upon with a task to complete. Joseph dispatched a ferocious short-ball barrage to eliminate Ryan Rickelton, the impromptu opener, who held off No. 3 Rassie van der Dussen, who was hurriedly placed in the pull shot. In the 11th over, Klaasen came into play after Markram edged a Mayers leg cutter to Shai Hope, ending the powerplay. Nine balls later, the West Indies successfully reviewed an Akeal Hosein lbw appeal against Tony de Zorzi, whose ball-tracking indicated that he would hit the middle stump. At 87 for 4, South Africa was in trouble.

When Klaasen hung back in his crease to dispatch Hosein for two fours in the over, something that would become a regular part of his innings, the tension was relieved. He launched Odean Smith over deep midwicket for the first of his five sixes after pulling Joseph for consecutive fours to end the threat posed by the spearhead of the West Indies. David Miller was mostly watching, but he sent fuller balls from Hosein and Smith for six before giving Hosein a straightforward catch on the return.

South Africa could have collapsed with a slightly shorter batting lineup than usual, but Marco Jansen performed admirably on his home ground. He scored six runs off the initial nine balls he looked before he drew out the opposite clear against leg spinner Yannic Cariah and did it two times in three balls. Jansen liked Cariah and scored 14 runs, including a six over midwicket, in his next over.

South Africa needed only 55 more runs at the halfway point of their innings, and they were scoring at more than eight runs per over

Klaasen was in his eighties when Jason Holder took over, elevating him to 99. He scored his hundred against Joseph with a single off the 54th ball he faced. Jansen was close to scoring a fifty for the first time in an ODI, but in his haste to do so, he sent a Joseph ball to Shamarh Brooks at the back of the pavilion, leaving Wayne Parnell to finish the job.

Before that, West Indies’ innings got off to a good start when Mayers took advantage of Lungi Ngidi’s width and scored 39 runs in the first seven overs. However, Mayers had already been kicked out when he pulled Jansen off the rope with Ngidi at midfield backpedaling to take a diving catch.

With a slash off 60 balls, Brandon King reached his fourth ODI half-century and continued his strong batsmanship. When Brooks called for a run, King did not respond, and Brook slipped as he returned to his crease, the second-wicket stand between King and Shamarh Brooks was beginning to look promising. He was run out for 18 and the two of them parted ways at 71. It turned out to be the West Indian innings’ highest.

After the run-out, Ngidi was brought back, and King seemed pleased to see him. To enter the 1970s, he whipped a half-volley through the covers, but Ngidi won out. King attempted to play a short ball while on his toes in his next over, but he chipped it into his stumps.

Nicholas Pooran penalized Coetzee and Ngidi for short balls and slog-swept Fortuin over long-on to reduce West Indies to 148 for 3 at the halfway point, with 300 still in their sights. After Markram brought himself in to hold an end and gave the most economical performance of his career, they came to a disappointing end. Jason Holder was stumped and beaten by turn in his ten overs, and he took his wicket for just 30 runs. 

Hope had attempted to whip Bjorn Fortuin over short midwicket at that point, but he was caught by David Miller. Rovman Powell had been stumped and beaten in flight, Nicholas Pooran had been bounced out, and Carirah had been strangled down the leg side. West Indies would have felt they were below par and later realized how far behind the pace they were despite Smith’s run-a-ball 17 providing some late fireworks.

SA vs WI, 3rd ODI Preview

South Africa and West Indies play the third and final ODI of the series at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom on Tuesday morning. After the first match was abandoned before a ball was bowled, West Indies went 1-0 up in the series on Saturday with a 48 run win at Buffalo Park in East London. A win for either team will mean they can not lose the series with one more match to play. South Africa have some exciting white ball players to pick from but it could be a tough assignment taking on a strong West Indies team in this ODI. West Indies are under a new captain and have players who are naturally attacking.

Top Picks – South Africa

• Quinton de Kock – The left-handed keeper-batter has enjoyed a break over the last five weeks since the end of the SA20. He will be refreshed and ready to take the attack to West Indies in this match.
• Lungi Ngidi – The right-arm pace bowler took 4-62 in his last ODI appearance against England in Kimberley at the start of February and will lead the pace bowling attack in this game.

Top Picks – West Indies

• Shai Hope – New captain has a brilliant ODI record. Since making his debut in this format in 2016, he has hit over 4300 runs from 99 innings.
• Akeal Hosein – The left-arm spinner has had a busy start to the year with appearances in the BBL, ILT20 and the PSL already. He will get turn from this pitch.

Captain – Shai Hope, Quinton de Kock

SA vs WI 3rd ODI Probable Winners:

After the disappointment for players and supporters alike on Thursday, the forecast is far more encouraging for this game and we expect to see an entertaining contest. Hendricks is a powerful clean hitter at the top of the order for South Africa. Both teams are naturally aggressive with the bat but the conditions are likely to favour the bowlers. We expect South Africa’s pace attack to have the edge. Considering the team combination, South Africa is expected to win this match.

West Indies are with a chance of a rare series win in South Africa as Shai Hope thumped Temba Bavuma with both openers setting up interesting games with centuries up front. South Africa are now in a lot more trouble as their bid for qualifying for the World Cup gets more challenging.
