South Africa and the South Africa national cricket team will look to complete a series clean sweep as they take on the West Indies cricket team in the third and final T20I at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg today.
The coin flip of the match went in South Africa's way who opted to bowl first. South Africa vs West Indies 3rd T20I playing 11: South Africa playing 11: Aiden Markram(c), Quinton de Kock(w), Ryan Rickelton, Dewald Brevis, Jason Smith, Tristan Stubbs, George Linde, Eathan Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Kwena Maphaka, Lungi Ngidi West Indies playing 11: Shai Hope(w/c), Johnson Charles, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Matthew Forde, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Roston Chase, Jason Holder, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Akeal Hosein
The Proteas have already sealed the three-match series with commanding victories in both earlier games, including a stunning chase of 222 in the second T20I, powered by a blistering century from Quinton de Kock.
While South Africa’s batting has been in strong form throughout and their bowlers have been disciplined, West Indies will be desperate to avoid a whitewash and salvage pride before heading into the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.
The Wanderers traditionally favours batters, promising another high-scoring encounter. With both sides keen to fine-tune combinations ahead of the global showpiece, this final match will serve as a valuable last competitive outing. Expect South Africa to continue their aggressive approach, while West Indies will focus on tightening their bowling and fielding disciplines.
