Senwes Park

South Africa will lock horns against West Indies at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom on 21st March in the 3rd ODI of the series. After a disappointing performance in the Test Series, the Caribbean team played amazingly in the 2nd ODI. It was a captain’s competition where both the captains Temba Bavuma and Shai Hope smashed a brilliant century.

After winning the toss and batting first West Indies did a fantastic job and set the 336 runs target for the hosts. Shai Hope scored 128 runs unbeaten on 115 balls, he smashed 7 sixes in his inning. Rovman Powell also contributed 46 runs in the West Indies Inning. By picking 3 wickets Gerald Coetzee was brilliant with the ball. South African top order batsman Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma scored 48 and 144 respectively but the middle order totally failed to take the team to the winning destination.

South Africa vs West Indies Chance of winning

It was really unexpected but West Indies performed well to secure a 48 runs victory at South African soil in the last match. This triumph was significant because most of the predictions were against them. Despite Bavuma's 144 runs, however, they weren't enough to overcome the 335-run total of the Caribbean team. Hope's 128* runs and Joseph's 3-53 runs contributed significantly to the victory. In spite of it South Africa may not be under rated as they have 72% winning chances.
