South Africa vs West Indies, 3rd ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

South Africa and West Indies are set to lock horns in the third and final game of their three-match ODI series on Tuesday, March 21. Senwes Park in Potchefstroom will host the contest.

Temba Bavuma’s South Africa didn’t have the greatest of times in the second ODI as they lost by 48 runs at Buffalo Park in East London. Bavuma opened the batting and scored 144 runs off 118 balls with 11 fours and seven sixes, but it wasn’t enough for his team to win.

Bavuma played until the 42nd over before Alzarri Joseph accounted for his crucial scalp. Immediately after the Proteas captain got out, Joseph picked up Tabraiz Shamsi’s wicket to seal the fate of the game and give West Indies an all-important 1-0 series lead.

Joseph and Akeal Hosein picked up three wickets apiece to help the visitors bowl Bavuma’s men out for 287 in 41.4 overs. Earlier, Shai Hope made an outstanding debut as West Indies captain with an unbeaten 128 off 115 balls that included five fours and seven sixes.

On the back of his knock, West Indies posted a stiff target of 336 for the hosts to chase down. Hope also notched the second-highest score by a batter in ODIs on captaincy debut. Gerald Coetzee picked up three wickets for South Africa.
