West Indies vs South Africa Betting Odds
West Indies to have a better opening partnership than South Africa
South Africa and West Indies go head to head after a disappointing outing for the visitors in the opening game. This was the fourth loss in five matches against West Indies for South Africa who had a brilliant Test campaign prior to this T20 series. West Indies openers had a brilliant game in the first match as they managed an opening partnership of 84 runs and West Indies won the game with seven wickets to spare. On the other hand South Africa openers struggled to make an impact and this is the third time in four matches South Africa has conceded a bigger opening partnership which makes us believe they would once again end up having a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
