WI vs SA Pitch Report

The pitch at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba is generally known for its sporty nature. It keeps players of all trades in the game. In this series, too, we have seen that while batters have been able to score runs, the bowlers have had a significant say in deciding the fate of the games. So far in this series, the toss has not played a major role, as one of the two games has been won by the team batting first, while the chasing team has won the other.

Fantasy value from the pitch report

  • The pitch has provided some help to the bowlers with the new ball, especially in the first innings. So, the middle-order batters look like the safer choices. However, you can also opt to go for top-order batters who are looking in good form.
  • Pacers who look to hit the deck will be the best picks for the game. You should bank more on bowlers who rely on their variations towards the death phase. As far as spinners, those who can use seam-up deliveries as their variations can be valuable picks for the game.

WI vs SA Fantasy Cricket Tips

West Indies Heavy Fantasy XI

  • In this series, Shai Hope and Nicholas Pooran have been great with the bat. These two players are the must-picks for the match. 
  • Shamar Joseph, Romario Shepeherd and Matthew Forde have been effective with the ball for West Indies. While Shepherd will be a crucial pick with his batting abilities, you can keep either Shpeherd or Forde along with him in your XI. 

South Africa Heavy Fantasy XI

  • Tristan Stubbs has looked the best batter for the visitors so far. Based on current form, he is a must-pick. Besides Stubbs, you can also back Reeza Hendricks or Aiden Markram.
  • Lizaad Williams has so far been the best bowler for South Africa in the only game he has played. Besides Williams, Ottniel Baartman and Patrick Kruger are also good choices.

WI vs SA Winner Prediction

South Africa are trying to test their newer generation in this series and has thus looked the weaker side. West Indies will be the favourites to win this game and complete a 3-0 whitewash over the Proteas.

WI vs SA Top Player Picks

Nicholas Pooran (WI)

The West Indian batter has been in fine batting form in this format lately. Nicholas Pooran showed his form and hitting prowess in the first game of the series and will be the safest pick for the match. 

Shamar Joseph (WI)

This medium pacer has been consistently taking wickets in this series. Shamar Joseph has the rhythm and momentum going with him and, hence, will be one of the key picks for the game. 

Tristan Stubbs (SA)

The young South African middle-order batter was the only man who showed resilience in the first game; Tristan Stubbs has already performed under pressure in this series and has the form with him, making him one of the better options for the fantasy contests. 

Ottniel Baartman (SA)

This South African medium-pacer has been the best in his team’s bowling attack. Besides, the Brian Lara stadium’s pitch suits his bowling style, so Ottniel Baartman can be a decisive choice in the game. 

WI vs SA Differential Picks

Shai Hope (WI)

In both games, Shai Hope has played crucial roles with the bat and has looked in a decent touch. Picking and selecting him as the captain or vice-captain might make a difference for you in the fantasy contests. 

Reeza Hendricks (SA)

The South African opener has not looked in the best of touches in this series. However, Reeza Hendricks was in good form ahead of the series in the T20 format. He can regain his form and significantly impact this game's fantasy contests. 

WI vs SA Fantasy Expert Advice

Given the form of the players and the expected playing conditions, a 3-2-2-4 or a 4-3-1-3 combination looks rewarding for the game.
