South Africa vs West Indies Prediction, 3rd T20I – Who will win today’s match between SA vs WI?

South Africa (SA) will look to complete a whitewash of the West Indies (WI) when these two teams collide in the third and final T20I at The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday, January 31.

In

the first T20I, South Africa chased down a 174-run target in 17.5 overs at Boland Park, Paarl. They followed it up with an even better run-chase in the second T20I at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. On the back of Quinton de Kock's swashbuckling century, the Proteas chased down a 222-run target with seven wickets and 15 balls to spare.

The West Indies haven't fared too badly with the bat, but the bowling performances have been abysmal in both games. They need to come out with better plans and execute them better in the final T20I if they are to salvage pride.

SuperSport Park, Centurion Pitch Report

The SuperSport Park in Centurion is generally a high-scoring track. Fast bowlers, however, will get some help when the ball is new. It will be important for the bowlers to make early inroads, as stopping runs at the back end of the innings could be very difficult. The captain who wins the toss would want to chase.

SA vs WI Probable Best Performers

Probable Best Batter: Quinton de Kock

Quinton de Kock has been in tremendous form of late. In the SA20, he finished as the highest run-getter. The wicketkeeper-batter was rested for the first game but slammed a belligerent century in the second. De Kock brought up his century off just 43 balls, slamming six fours and 10 sixes.

Probable Best Bowler: Kagiso Rabada

The experienced Kagiso Rabada can play a significant role when the ball is new. The right-arm pacer bowled well in the second T20I, giving away 35 runs in four overs and picking up the wicket of a well-set Brandon King.
