South Africa's recent performance in this format does not inspire much confidence. They've battled with the bat and will need a better performance from their middle order to win. The squad also expects its powerful bowling attack to perform well during this contest. The West Indies have an excellent batting lineup and a more formidable spin attack. It will be a close game, but based on the two teams' past form, the West Indies hold a slight advantage. Considering the team combination, West Indies is expected to win this match.
