SA vs WI: West Indies’ Predicted Playing XI Against South Africa- ICC T20 World Cup 2021, Match 18

Evin Lewis

Chris Gayle

At one point in the last game, Chris Gayle looked in good touch as he slammed 3 boundaries while batting. However, he lost his wicket after scoring 13 runs. He was the only batsman to score 10+ runs in the last game. In the next game, Gayle will look to go big with the bat. He might be retained at the one-down position in the next game.

Shimron Hetmyer

Shimron Hetmyer became a victim of Moeen Ali in the last game, after scoring just 9 runs off 9 balls. However, he showed a good performance in the warm-up matches and also in IPL 2021. Hetmyer is in good batting form and the team will pick him in the next game as well.

Nicholas Pooran (WK)

Nicholas Pooran will be the wicket-keeper for the team in the next game as well. Pooran is the primary wicket-keeper for the team in ICC T20 World Cup 2021. In the last game, he got out for just 1 run off 9 balls. In the next match, he will aim to contribute well with the bat.

Kieron Pollard (C)

Kieron Pollard will be the skipper of the team in the next game. Pollard scored 6 runs off 14 balls in the last game as his team faced a horrible batting collapse. Pollard will aim for a strong comeback in the next game against South Africa.

Andre Russell

Andre Russell played some good knocks in IPL 2021 but he totally failed in the opening game of T20 World Cup 2021 against England. He got out for a duck after he arrived to crease in a tense situation. He had the opportunity to built a partnership with skipper Kieron Pollard at that moment but he couldn’t do so. In the next game, he will try to show his powerful batting skills.

Dwayne Bravo

Dwayne Bravo will be the all-rounder in the next game as well. He got out for 5 runs in the last game. However, Bravo is in a good bowling form which was observed in IPL 2021, when he played for Chennai Super Kings. In the next game, Bravo will seek to execute his role of the all-rounder in an effective way.

Akeal Hosein

Akeal Hosein picked 2 wickets in the last game while bowling 4 overs. However, the low target set by West Indies did not give him any chance to make a bold statement for the team. In the next game of T20 World Cup 2021 against South Africa, he will look to bowl with similar strength.

Obed McCoy

Obed McCoy bowled 2 overs in the last game and conceded 12 runs while remaining wicketless. Due to the low target, he did not have enough overs to show his bowling skills. However for the next game in T20 World Cup 2021, he will be gearing up for a good show.

Ravi Rampaul

Ravi Rampaul picked 1 wicket in his 2 overs in the last match against England. He is an experienced pacer for the team and will look to give a good show in the next game. He is also expected to be part of the next game as he is a powerful bowler in the team in T20 World Cup 2021.
