We have made a few changes in our Expert XI. Do check out our updated Fantasy Handbook..

In the 1st T20I, there was a heavy covering of grass. The grass is there because of constant rolling it has become brown, the moisture has gone out. So, the wicket looks better now. It was better for batting in the 2nd T20I as compared to the 1st T20I, mention Samuel Badree and Carlos Brathwaite in their pitch report

Teams:

West Indies (Playing XI): Brandon King(c), Johnson Charles, Kyle Mayers, Alick Athanaze, Andre Fletcher(w), Fabian Allen, Akeal Hosein, Hayden Walsh, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph, Obed McCoy

South Africa (Playing XI): Reeza Hendricks, Quinton de Kock(w), Ryan Rickelton, Matthew Breetzke, Rassie van der Dussen(c), Wiaan Mulder, Patrick Kruger, Gerald Coetzee, Bjorn Fortuin, Nqaba Peter, Anrich Nortje

Brandon King: We have played two matches on this pitch so we are familiar with the conditions. Shepherd is not playing and Hayden Walsh comes in his place. Athanaze is making his debut

Rassie van der Dussen: We will bat first. It’s a used wicket, we have witnessed how it played in the last two matches. The middle-order needs to do better. Andile is not well, in his place Patrick Kruger is making his debut. Coetzee replaces Ngidi

South Africa have won the toss and have opted to bat

13:00 Local Time, 18:00 GMT, 23:30 IST: Hello and welcome to the third T20I of the series folks! The first two games were won by the West Indies as they put up a good show in both the departments, however, there were a few instances where South Africa played brilliantly. To be precise, that opening partnership between de Kock and Hendricks last evening was outstanding. It was only after that partnership that the Proteas collapsed and fell short of the target. Also a couple of bowlers bowled decent spells and today they will be aiming to bowl a notch better. What do we have in store for us? A consolation victory for South Africa or will West Indies make it 3-0? We shall find out soon, stay tuned for the toss and teams..
