TEAMS PREVIEW

West Indies Preview

Brandon King will be happy with the performances of his players. He leads a depleted side in this series, but the players have delivered as expected. The skipper has led from the front, and he will look to do the same in this contest and win this game to boost their confidence ahead of the World Cup.  

Brandon King has done well in both games, and he will look to offer an electrifying start to this game with Johnson Charles. The middle order built partnerships in the last game, and the team expects the same from Kyle Mayers, Roston Chase, and Andre Fletcher. Fabian Allen and Akeal Hosein strengthen this batting lineup in the lower middle order.  

The bowlers did well in the death overs in the last game, and the side needs early wickets from Kyle Mayers and Roston Chase. Gudakesh Motie has troubled the South African batters in both games, and he must do well in the middle overs with Obed McCoy and Shamar Joseph. Akeal Hosein, Romario Shepherd, and Fabian Allen add to the team's bowling options.

West Indies Predicted Playing XI:

Brandon King (c), Johnson Charles, Kyle Mayers, Roston Chase, Andre Fletcher (wk), Fabian Allen, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph, Obed McCoy

West Indies Actual Playing XI:

Brandon King, Alick Athanaze, Fabian Allen, Kyle Mayers, Johnson Charles, Andre Fletcher, Akeal Hosein, Obed McCoy, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Hayden Walsh

South Africa Preview

Rassie van der Dussen will feel let down by his players. They have bowled poorly in both games, and the middle and the lower middle order threw away the last game after a wonderful start in their run chase. There will be pressure on the team to avoid a series whitewash, and van der Dussen expects a more competitive show from his side.  

Reeza Hendricks and Quinton de Kock delivered a brilliant start in the last game and aim to do the same. The middle order is the problem area for the team, and they need partnerships with Ryan Rickelton, Matthew Breetzke, and Rassie van der Dussen. Wiaan Mulder, Andile Phehlukwayo, and Bjorn Fortuin are good hitters, and the team expects their contributions.  

There have been poor bowling performances in both games. Bjorn Fortuin did well in the last game and must strike early with his experienced partner, Lungi Ngidi. Nqaba Peter and Anrich Nortje must bowl better lines in the middle overs to put the hosts under pressure. Mulder and Andile Phehlukwayo can't afford to leak runs like they did in the last game. 

South Africa Predicted Playing XI:

Rassie van der Dussen (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Ryan Rickelton, Matthew Breetzke, Wiaan Mulder, Andile Phehlukwayo, Gerald Coetzee, Bjorn Fortuin, Ottniel Baartman, Lungi Ngidi

South Africa Actual Playing XI:

Rassie van der Dussen, Reeza Hendricks, Patrick Kruger, Wiaan Mulder, Quinton de Kock, Matthew Breetzke, Ryan Rickelton, Gerald Coetzee, Bjorn Fortuin, Anrich Nortje, Nqaba Peter

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We shall see a cloud cover over Jamaica on May 26. The wicket helps the bowlers and hence batsmen must approach their game cautiously to score runs. 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, is a good ground for batsmen who stay on the crease. They can free their arms, given the shorter dimensions of the ground. Fast bowlers have done well at this venue with the new ball. Spinners can turn the ball as it grips the surface.

Toss: To Bat

In both games, the side that batted first won the game. The wicket slows down in the second half, making run chases difficult. We expect the same trend to continue, so the side winning the toss will opt to bat first.
