Series: West Indies tour of South Africa, 2023
South Africa vs West Indies, 3rd T20I 28th march evening nine thirty Pm
Venue: The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg
After witnessing arguably the greatest match in T20I history, South Africa and West Indies are set to lock horns for the third time in 3 days to decide the fate of their respective series at The Wanderers Stadium,
Johannesburg on Tuesday. After the 2nd T20I saw a combined total of 517 being scored in less than 40 overs, the stage is perfectly set for these two nations for an epic contest.
South Africa recorded the greatest-ever chase in T20 international history by scoring 259 runs within 20 overs at the Centurian. Breaking their streak of three consecutive losses in the format,
the Proteas not only managed to keep the series alive but did so in style after being led by their marquee southpaw Quinton de Kock.
West Indies would be devastated after the loss in the 2nd T20I as Johnson Charles had led the West Indies to 258 runs by scoring the quickest century by a West Indian (taking eight fewer balls than Chris Gayle).
However, their bowling unit leaked runs as no bowler had an economy rate of under 10 runs per over. With the stakes being high, the away side will be keen on seeking redemption in Johannesburg.
Pitch Report
The pitch helps the batsmen to ooze into their groove with fast bowlers not getting enough bounce and swing out of it. However, spinners can get an unexpected turn in the middle overs.
key players South Africa : Aiden Markram , Quinton de Kock , Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi
key players West indies : Rovman Powell, Johnson Charles, Nicholas Pooran , Sheldon Cottrell
Prediction: South Africa are favorites to win the match and series by 2-1
