West Indies vs South Africa Preview

South Africa are unbeaten in the tournament while the West Indies have just once. Both can still qualify while defeat for the Windies is very likely to mean the end of their tournament. I fancy the hosts to get over the line in this one.

West Indies’ Nicholas Pooran (227 runs) tops the T20 World Cup runs list.
West Indies’ Shai Hope scored 82* off 39 balls in the win over the USA.
South Africa’s Quinton de Kock has scored 74 & 65 in his last 2 innings.
South Africa’s David Miller has scored 59*, 29 & 43 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

West Indies have won their last four T20I games against South Africa, three of which came just prior to the World Cup.

West Indies Form

After losing to England, the West Indies bounced back with an emphatic win over the USA.

Roston Chase (3/19) and Andre Russell (3/31) bowled phenomenally as the USA were rolled for 128 off 19.5 overs.

The West Indies powered to the win in the 11th over, with Shai Hope (82* off 39 balls) tearing the USA bowlers apart to secure a nine-wicket win.

West Indies Team News

The West Indies are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

South Africa Form

South Africa followed up their narrow win over the USA by beating England by seven runs.

South Africa scored 163/6, with Quinton de Kock (65) firing again at the top of the order, backed by David Miller (43 off 28 balls).

South Africa put England under pressure and they never truly got back in the match, although they came within seven runs of the win. Keshav Maharaj (2/25) returned the best figures for the Proteas.

South Africa Team News

South Africa are in brilliant form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team. They do need more runs from some of their top order, in the event that De Kock or Miller fail to score. Their pace bowling has been world-class and it is their key to winning the World Cup.

Verdict

West Indies v South Africa

I am backing West Indies to win. I am also backing Nicholas Pooran to top score for West Indies.

Quinton de Kock is a good bet to top score for South Africa.

West Indies Win
