South Africa Champions vs West Indies Champions Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

West Indies Champions failed to show up in the batting department as no one apart from Dwayne Smith showcased any resilience at the centre. In both matches thus far West Indies has scored 48 and 31 in the powerplay which makes us believe they would score low in the powerplay.

South Africa Champions much like their opponents have struggled in the powerplay which has been the main reason for their downfall in both games. In the two matches thus far, South Africa has scored 38 and 53 in the powerplay. We believe 53 runs in the last game was one off and they would struggle to score well in the first six overs.

South Africa Champions vs West Indies Champions Match Toss Prediction

Historically the venue has suited the team batting first and in the last four of the five games, we have seen team batting first dominate the game which makes us believe both sides would prefer to bat first in the upcoming game.

Weather Report

With 20% chances of disruptions we believe climate would not play a major role in the game. Maximum temperature is expected to be 32C during the game and minimum temperature is expected to be 23C.

South Africa Champions vs West Indies Champions Betting Odds

West Indies Champions to have a better opening partnership than South Africa Champions

West Indies Champions and South Africa Champions go head to head after a disappointing start to the campaign as both sides remain winless after two rounds of fixtures. South African batsmen have failed to show up in both matches as in the opening game against England they scored 137 runs and then in the last game against Australia they scored 126. South Africa's opening stand in two games was two and zero. On the other hand, even though West Indies have lost both games, their batsmen have had a better showing which makes us believe they would end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

South Africa Champions vs West Indies Champions Top Batters

Herschelle Gibbs to be South Africa Champions’ top batter

Herschelle Gibbs was the shining light in what was a dismal showing by South Africa Champions batsmen against England. Gibbs missed the last game but we expect him to return in the starting 11 and score well which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Dwayne Smith to be West Indies Champions’ top batter

It's hard to make a pick after the last game as West Indies only batted for 5.5 overs and the game was called off. Dwayne Smith was brilliant in the opening game as he scored a brilliant half century which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

South Africa Champions vs West Indies Champions Top Bowlers

Imran Tahir to be South Africa Champions’ top bowler

Even though Imran Tahir did not have a great game against Australia in the last outing we are going to stick with him as he has been terrific in the T20 format and has been pretty consistent as well which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Ashley Nurse to be West Indies Champions’ top bowler

Ashley Nurse did not have a great game in the last outing against India regardless, we are going to stick with him as he was phenomenal in the opening game as he bagged three wickets which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
