Cricket Free Tips | West Indies vs South Africa, 2021: 3rd T20I

West Indies will lock horns with South Africa in the fourth game of the five-match series after losing the advantage with a tight loss in the third T20I.

The series is on the line for the West Indies, who are down 2-1 and need their batsmen to step up against a tenacious Protea side. Two losses while chasing will irritate Kieron Pollard and the rest of the team management, especially with the country’s reputation in the format to uphold ahead of the T20 World Cup.

On the other side, South Africa aims for a historic series victory under new captain Temba Bavuma. Different players have stepped up at different times for the visitors, who are only one strong performance away from a historic piece of silverware against the defending T20 World Cup champions.

Weather

The weather will be cloudy, but rain is not going to interrupt the game.

Pitch

Even though the pitch has slowed as the series has proceeded, it should still provide plenty of runs. While the pacers should obtain some swing early on, they should ideally switch to off-pace deliveries as the match goes. In this game, the spinners should play a more significant role, with wickets in hand being crucial for either team. Because the pitch is likely to slow down, both teams may want to bat first if they win the toss. A total of 160-170 runs should be sufficient, but both teams can exceed 180 runs.
