Tournament: South Africa Women tour of West Indies, 2021 | Format: T20 | Venue: Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua | Toss: To Bat
Bet NowSouth Africa team managed to win the second T20I comfortably with both their batters and bowlers coming to the party. They have a good chance to win their second away T20I tour on a trot after they won the series against India by 2-1 margin. West Indies on the other hand will need to level the series. They had a good outing in the first match but were unlucky to miss out with rain spoiling the most part of the second innings. They had a brilliant series against Pakistan with a 3-0 victory in the 3 matches at this same venue.
West Indies batting unit never really looked comfortable right from the start and ended with 115/8 in their 20 overs. Chedean nation and Britney Cooper top scored with 26 runs each. All their top-6 batters got starts but failed to convert them into a big score. Hayley Mathews and Deandra Dottin are their most experienced players and must need to stand up with the bat.
Qiana Joseph was the pick of the bowlers with bowling figures of 4-0-17-1 while Anisa Mohammed chipped in with economical figures of 4-0-27-0. Hayley Mathews picked up 2 wickets but gave away 43 runs in just the 3 overs while other bowlers too gave runs at over 8.5 RPO.
Top players to bet on:
Qiana Joseph – Qiana Joseph has bowling figures of 0/22 & 1/17 in the two matches and she is strangling the batters with her economical figures. She will be their trump card with the ball in the middle overs.
Britney Cooper – Cooper looked in excellent rhythm scoring 26 runs off 15 balls with 3 boundaries and a six in the last game. She can be big game changer scoring quick runs in the middle order.

Laura Wolvaart then showcased fireworks scoring 33 runs off 9 balls to take them to 165/3 in the 20 overs.
Their bowling unit then provided a brilliant performance as a team with all 5 bowlers contributing to the team. Marizane Kapp picked up 3 wickets. Ayabongha Khaka and Nonklukeko Mlaba picked up 2 wickets each with Masabata Klass chipping in with a wicket each.
Top players to bet on:
Laura Wolvaart – Laura Wolvaart has been in red hot form and has scored 68 runs off 30 balls across 2 matches and is yet to be dismissed. She can be big match winner and turn the match in matter of minutes.
Ayabongha Khaka – Khaka had amazing figures of 4-0-8-2 in the last game and is giving runs at just 2 RPO across 2 matches despite bowling in the powerplay. She will be high on confidence after this performance and will look to replicate it in this match too.

Antigua is expected to have bright and sunny conditions on the match day with just 20% chances of rain as per weather forecasters.
Antigua has a very good pitch to bat on with a fast outfield for company. Bowlers might need to use their variations to perfection to stop the batters. We expect the average runs in this match to be around 150-160 runs.
The slow nature of the pitch will tempt the captains to bat first in this match as batting becomes slightly difficult during the chase.
South African team is on a roll with both their batting and bowling unit clicking together with multiple players stepping up the challenge. They have very less gaps in their armor and has very well adjusted to the Caribbean conditions. West Indies need a lot of character and spirit from their payers in this match to save the match. Their batting unit must look to make big scores with players making fifties. We expect South Africa to win this match and series 2-0.
South Africa will win the match & series 2-0
