Head to Head

West Indies have won four of their last seven T20I matches against South Africa. The current series is level at 1-1 after South Africa won the 2nd T20 by 16 runs.

West Indies Form

The West Indies will want to get back on track after allowing South Africa to level the series at 1-1 in the 2nd T20I at St George’s.

After putting in a superb performance to win the 1st T20 by eight wickets, the West Indies batsmen failed to produce a similar performance. South Africa once again batted first, scoring 166 runs in their 20 overs.

Obed McCoy was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3-25 in four overs. Andre Fletcher top scored with 35 runs but wickets kept falling around him. Fabian Allen smashed 34 off just 12 balls to take the Windies to 150 in 20 overs, losing by 16 runs.

West Indies Team News

The West Indies are likely to stick with the same side from the opening two matches.

South Africa Form

South Africa leveled the five-match series at 1-1 with a 16-run victory over the West Indies in the 2nd T20I. They batted first, scoring 166 runs for the loss of seven wickets.

Reeza Hendricks scored 42 off 30 balls while Temba Bavuma top scored with 46 runs. The bowlers performed a lot better than in the 1st T20 with George Linda taking 2-19 in four overs. Kagiso Rabada was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3-37.
