IMLT20: 3 batters to watch out for in the West Indies masters vs South Africa Masters clash

England are bottom of the table having won no games from their three encounters so far. South Africa on the other hand have two points from four games. West Indies has also played four matches and accumulated four points. 

In the last match, South Africa were soundly thrashed by Australia by a massive margin of 137 runs. West Indies on the other hand lost to the hosts by seven runs in a high scoring encounter which saw Brian Lara take to the field. Win for the Proteas will ensure that they keep their hopes of making it to the playoffs alive. 

Here are the top 3 batters to watch out for in the WI M vs SAF M game in IML T20

3. Richard Levi

The former South African T20 batter was known as a natural striker of the ball in his heydays. Levi scored 22 runs in the last match from just 13 balls. Levi is a powerful striker of the ball and can play well against the seamers and the spinners with ease. Considering that the next round of matches will be played in Raipur where the wickets will be conducive for run scoring, Levi will become a key factor for the Proteas side.

2. Dwayne Smith

Dwayne Smith has already played a lot of cricket in India thanks to his time in the IPL and knows the conditions well. The former West Indian batter has been in blistering form with the bat in the ongoing IML T20 tournament. Smith has scored 214 runs from four innings with an average of 53.5 with two fifties. His best of 79 came in the last match versus India where he played his characteristic shots to all parts of the ground.

1. Lendl Simmons

One of the best batters for the West Indian masters has been Lendl Simmons who has shown the world his talents haven’t died down yet. Simmons in three games has scored 161 runs and has been dismissed just once so far in the tournament. Simmons began the campaign with an unbeaten 94 versus Australia and followed it up with 37 not out versus Sri Lanka and 38 vs India. If West Indies are to make it to the playoffs then the former Mumbai Indians star will hold the key with the bat.
