Cricket Free Tips | ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, Match 18: South Africa vs West Indies

In the 18th T20 World Cup 2021 match, South Africa will face reigning champions West Indies in a Group 1 match on Tuesday. Despite scoring only 118 runs in their tournament opener against Australia, the Proteas did admirably keep the game alive until the final. They did, however, lose the match by 5 wickets. In the second half of the match against Australia, the bowlers rescued them, and now it’s up to the hitters to show their worth against the West Indies.

The West Indies were bowled out for just 55 runs in 15 overs against England in their first encounter, losing by six wickets. As they fought hard with the ball and picked up four wickets, many factors kept them motivated. West Indies have the ability to bat deep and have a good chance of winning this match. It’s a critical game for both teams, as another loss might jeopardize their prospects of reaching the knockout stages.

Weather
There were clear skies and a high of 34 degrees during the game.

Pitch
The pitch in Dubai is ideal for batting, with the ball coming off the bat smoothly. On the other hand, the pacers should have a good time bowling on this track because there are many swings and bounce early on. As the game continues, spinners may be utilized.
