This article will talk about the probable XIs for both teams and continue with the Dream11 predictions and the winning fantasy team for the 3rd T20I between West Indies and South Africa that is scheduled to take place on the 29th of June 2021.
West Indies and South Africa are playing immense cricket as both the teams won each T20I match after the two matches. West Indies won the first T20I match convincingly but in the second T20I match, South Africa made a comeback and won the match by 16 runs. South Africa batted first for the consecutive time where they posted a target of 164 runs with the help of 46 and 42 of Bavuma and Hendricks respectively.
On the other hand, West Indies got a good start from openers in the first four overs but their middle order collapsed and Pollard, Russell, and Pooran failed to score. However, Holder and Allen scored some runs but failed to cross the line as they lost by 16 runs. In this match, both teams will look to win and put one step ahead towards the trophy.
Match Details
Venue: National Cricket Stadium, St George’s, Greneda
Pitch and Weather: The pitch of Grenada stadium will remain the same as it was played in the first two T20I matches. Batsmen will enjoy their batting throughout the match. It will be another high-scoring match between two batting powerhouses of cricket. The weather will be clear throughout the match as the whole match will be completed without any interruption.
Date and Time: June 29, 2021, 1.30 PM Local, 11.30 PM IST.
Probable Playing XIs
Windies played with the same XI in both the T20Is and they are still likely to stick with the same XI in this match as well. Fletcher and Lewis got the start in both matches, Fletcher will look to convert that start into a big knock. In the middle order, Pollard and Pooran will look to spend time in the middle and provide a good score in the middle overs along with Russell will aim to provide another aggressive finish. Their bowling attack is likely to be the same as the first two games as the pitch will get wear and provide some more assistance to the bowlers.
South Africa made a decent comeback after the one-sided defeat in the first T20I of the series. Reeza Hendricks and Temba Bavuma scored important runs in the middle. However, they will still aim to finish the inning with a high score as David Miller and Kalseen didn’t succeed to score runs in the first two matches. George Linde provided good assistance as an all-rounder and Shami and Rabada bowled brilliantly from the bowling attack.
Probable Playing XIs
West Indies: Even Lewis, Andre Fletcher, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran(wk), Kieron Pollard(c), Andre Russell, Jason Holder, Dwayne Bravo, Fabian Allen, Obed McCoy, Kevin Sinclair
South Africa: Quinton De Kock(wk), Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma(c), Rassie Van der Dussen, David Miller, Heinrich Klassen, George Linde, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje.
Match Prediction
After the defeat in the first match, South Africa made a healthy comeback in the second match. It will be another close contest between the two teams however, West Indies will still have an edge due to their fire-power in the batting order.
Fantasy Tips
Batmen: Evin Lewis looked in good form in both the T20Is and he got a good start in the powerplay. He will be an important pick from the batting section. Reeza Hendricks played a sensible knock in the last match and Russie Van der Dussen will also be an important player from the South Africa Team.
All-Rounders: All three West Indian all-rounders showed great form in both the T20I matches. Andre Russell, Fabian Allen, and Jason Holder will be important picks from the all-rounder section.
Wicket-Keeper: Quinton De Kock will again be the most important player from the South Africa team. Andre Fletcher also got a start in both the matches so he will also be an important player from the wicket-keeping section.
Bowlers: Kagiso Rabada took 3 wickets in the last match and Anrich Nortje also bowled brilliantly. Obed McCoy will be a good pick as a bowler from the West Indies team.
Captaincy Choices
Fantasy Team: Quinton De Kock(c), Andre Fletcher, Reeza Hendricks, Russie Van der Dussen, Evin Lewis, Andre Russell, Fabian Allen, Jason Holder, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Obed McCoy
Captain – Quinton De Kock
Quinton De Kock looked in good form in both matches so he will be the best option for the captaincy in this match. He will also provide the points with his wicket-keeping.
Vice-Captain – Andre Russell
Andrew Russell will provide points with both bat and ball, so he will be a good pick for the vice-captain.
