HEAD TO HEAD

TEAMS PREVIEW

West Indies Preview

Brandon King leads a depleted team in this series without regular skipper Rovman Powell. With many of their key players busy with the IPL, King will look to make the best out of the resources available. It is a very important series for the team right before the World Cup. King will look to use the home advantage and take an early lead in the series.  

Johnson Charles and Kyle Mayers shall look to do well at the top and take on the South African bowlers. In the middle order, Roston Chase, Alick Athanaze, and Brandon King must build partnerships, as this has been one of their weaknesses in recent games. They have depth in the lineup and expect runs from Romario Shepherd, Jason Holder, and Fabian Allen.  

The bowling attack will face a big test in this game, and they need early wickets from Jason Holder and Matthew Forde. Gudakesh Motie and Akeal Hosein must keep the scoring under check in the middle overs. Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, and Fabian Allen add depth to this attack.

WI Over/Under Betting Tips

West Indies Predicted Playing XI:

Brandon King (c), Kyle Mayers, Johnson Charles (wk), Roston Chase, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Alick Athanaze, Fabian Allen, Matthew Forde

West Indies Actual Playing XI:

Brandon King, Fabian Allen, Kyle Mayers, Roston Chase, Johnson Charles, Andre Fletcher, Matthew Forde, Akeal Hosein, Obed McCoy, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie

South Africa Preview

Rassie van der Dussen will lead the side as Aiden Markram is busy with the IPL. A few key batsmen on the side are busy with their T20 commitments, which has weakened their strength considerably. The South African skipper will look to get the best performance out of his players and take a 1-0 lead.  

Reeza Hendricks and Matthew Breetzke are key players, and the side expects a strong show from them at the top. Quinton de Kock has an important role at No. 3, and he must anchor the innings with Rassie van der Dussen and Patrick Kruger. Wiaan Mulder and Andile Phehlukwayo will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.  

The bowling is strong, and the side will expect Lungi Ngidi and Anrich Nortje to pick early wickets and put the West Indies top order on the back foot. Gerald Coetzee and Tabraiz Shamsi will look to bowl tight spells in the middle overs. Andile Phehlukwayo and Patrick Kruger will look to deliver a strong show in the ing role.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The weather prediction for Jamaica doesn't look encouraging, as we might see a spell of rain. The pitch assists the bowlers, and batsmen have found it hard to hit the ball. They must be watchful and get their eyes in before playing their strokes. The side that bats first would be happy with a score above 180 runs on this wicket.

WI vs RSA Pitch Report

Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica, has been a good ground for the batsmen as they have been able to free their arms given the shorter dimensions of the ground. Fast bowlers must use the new ball to earn their rewards. Spinners do well here as the pitch offers them turn and bounce.

Toss: To Bat

The wickets in the West Indies get slower as the game progresses. Chasing scores has become challenging in the last few years, as we have seen with most results. Both captains shall have this in their minds at the toss and opt to bowl first.
