South Africa vs West Indies 3rd T20 preview


 West Indies vs South Africa T20 series is level 1-1  at the moment. Tonight one of the teams will go ahead as the 3rd T20 takes place. 

West Indies will want to improve on their batting performance from the last game as they look to regain the momentum they had from the first game. They might look to make a change to strengthen the batting by bringing in  Lendl Simmons. 


South Africa on the other hand will want to improve on their batting in the middle overs and their power-hitting towards the end of the innings. Also, they have to find a way to include an all-rounder to balance the side better and give themselves a 6th bowling option.


West Indies Probable XI: 1. Evin Lewis, 2. Andre Flecher, 3. Chris Gayle, 4 Lendl Simmons/ Nicholas Pooran, 5. Kieron Pollard, 6. Andre Russel, 7. Jason Holder, 8. Fabian Allen, 9. Dwayne Bravo, 10. Obed McCoy, 11. Kevin Sinclair.
