West Indies vs South Africa Prediction: West Indies can whitewash South Africa

The third T20 of the series is being played today, 27th August 2024, at Brian Lara Cricket Academy, San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago, between West Indies and South Africa. With a win in the last game, West Indies will have a chance to complete a whitewash. Who will win this cricket match is the biggest question of the day.

It will be the same team that Rovman Powell goes in with on Tuesday because they had fielded the same XI in the first two matches of the series. The West Indies have totally dominated the games on this ground, so one feels very confident about their batting and bowling lineups. Shai Hope has been in the form of his life, exemplifying a new and improved approach in T20I cricket. He had scored 41 runs from 22 balls with an exact strike rate of 186.36—more runs than what most of the other batters did in that previous game. Nicholas Pooran, batting at three, is a mega-performer for the side in T20Is and is in possession of the highest number of runs that have been scored on this venue in this format. Shamarh Joseph is the current series top wicket-taker, and everything indicates he will repeat his dismissals of a South African opener for the third time on the trot.

With one change, South Africa made the trim ahead of the second T20, which saw left-arm pace bowler Nandre Burger being dropped from the XI after an expensive effort in the game opener. Burger's replacement, Lizaad Williams, shone with figures of 3/36 the other night, so the same playing XI is expected to be seen on Saturday. While Tristan Stubbs has been the biggest of the batting positives for South Africa, currently being the highest run-scorer in this series, Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markram made some good runs in the last game. Kwena Maphaka was wicketless in his second T20I and will be keen to make an impact with his pace in the upcoming game. I think Ottneil Baartman is the only one from the South African bowling lineup to have got a wicket so far in this series.

West Indies, even though it won both the series, had to fight the games very closely so far and could not break much pressure until the later part of these games. The amount of comfort in Tarouba leads us to predict that West Indies will win the series 3-0 when these sides meet again on Tuesday. We predict the match to be won by West Indies.
