SA vs WI, 3rd ODI Preview

South Africa and West Indies play the third and final ODI of the series at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom on Tuesday morning. After the first match was abandoned before a ball was bowled, West Indies went 1-0 up in the series on Saturday with a 48 run win at Buffalo Park in East London. A win for either team will mean they can not lose the series with one more match to play. South Africa have some exciting white ball players to pick from but it could be a tough assignment taking on a strong West Indies team in this ODI. West Indies are under a new captain and have players who are naturally attacking.

SA vs WI 3rd ODI Probable Winners:

After the disappointment for players and supporters alike on Thursday, the forecast is far more encouraging for this game and we expect to see an entertaining contest. Hendricks is a powerful clean hitter at the top of the order for South Africa. Both teams are naturally aggressive with the bat but the conditions are likely to favour the bowlers. We expect South Africa’s pace attack to have the edge. Considering the team combination, South Africa is expected to win this match.
