This article will talk about the probable XIs for both teams and continue with the Dream11 predictions and the winning fantasy team for the third T20I between West Indies and South Africa that is scheduled to take place on the 15th of July 2021.
West Indies have clinched the five-match T20I series by winning all first three games against Australia. West Indies have played some brilliant cricket throughout the series as they won their third consecutive match in this T20I series. In the third T20I, Australia opted to bat first where the Aussies again failed to post a match-winning total on the board. Walsh and Bravo bowled brilliantly and in the batting department, Chris Gayle scored a match-winning fifty.
On the other hand, Australia started brilliantly in the powerplay with Finch and Wade but once again their middle-order let them down. Henriques and Turner added some runs down the order but couldn’t post a match-winning total. In the bowling department, Mitchell Starc bowled a brilliant economical spell but other bowlers failed to perform as they lost the match by 6 wickets.
Match Details
Venue: Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia
Pitch and Weather: The pitch of St Lucia looks neutral so far as both batsmen and bowlers are getting help from the surface. The spinners are getting some help in the second inning but batsmen found it easy to score while chasing. It will be another game that finishes on around 150-160 total. The weather should be clear throughout the match as the game will be completed without any interruption.
Date and time: July 15, 2021, 7.30 PM Local, 5.00 AM IST
