MATCH PREVIEW     

West Indies has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series after their 30-run win in the second game. With this win, the hosts have won the first bilateral series at home against South Africa. Their batsmen have done well in the series, which gives them higher odds. They will look to go for the kill and grab the series 3-0. South Africans are a better team than their performance in this series would suggest. Key players haven't delivered and will look to salvage lost pride with a good show in this game. It will be interesting to see if the South Africans can rise to the occasion in this game and overcome the challenge thrown at them by the hosts.  

West Indies Preview      

Rovman Powell's side has been clinical in this series. The team has dominated the South Africans in both games with good performances. The top order is doing well, and the bowling attack delivered on a challenging track in the last game. According to the cricket betting sites, they are favorites to win this contest, and Powell would aim for a perfect finish to the season.  

Alick Athanaze and Shai Hope have batted well in both games, and the team expects a strong start from the pair. Nicholas Pooran is the team's best batsman and will look to add runs with Roston Chase and Rovman Powell in the middle order. The team also expects a good show in the lower middle order from Romario Shepherd and Sherfane Rutherford, as both players are good hitters.  

The side will look for early wickets from Akeal Hosein and Matthew Forde, as South Africa has good hitters at the top. Shamar Joseph and Romario Shepherd shared 6 wickets between them in the middle overs and shall look to do well in this game. Gudakesh Motie and Roston Chase strengthen this attack, making it strong.  

Expected Starting XI for West Indies     

Rovman Powell (c), Alick Athanaze, Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Roston Chase, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Matthew Forde, Shamar Joseph 

South Africa Preview     

Aiden Markram will be upset with his team's performance. From the highs of the World Cup, the team has played ordinary cricket in this game. They have seen a drop in their odds on cricket betting apps. Markram would like to see his players play aggressively in this game and end the series on a high.  

Reeza Hendricks and Ryan Rickelton batted well in the last game. The team needs runs from them at the top. Aiden Markram will look to anchor the innings and add runs in the middle order with Rassie van der Dussen and Tristan Stubbs. Donovan Ferreira and Patrick Kruger will look to do well in the lower middle order, as the West Indies bowlers have shown good form.  

On the bowling front, the team needs good spells with the new ball from Bjorn Fortuin and Lizaad Williams, as West Indies' batsmen will take them on. Ottneil Baartman has bowled well, and the team expects a good show from him and Kwena Maphaka in the middle overs. Markram and Patrick Kruger leaked runs in the last game and have to bowl better lines.  

Expected Starting XI for South Africa     

Aiden Markram (c), Ryan Rickelton (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Tristan Stubbs, Rassie van der Dussen, Donovan Ferreira, Patrick Kruger, Bjorn Fortuin, Lizaad Williams, Kwena Maphaka, Ottneil Baartman 

TOSS: To Bowl First      

In both games, we have seen flat tracks. Only once in the last five games has a side defended a score successfully at this ground. The early overs can be challenging for the batsmen, and we expect the team winning the toss to bowl first.   

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

The skies over Trinidad shall be overcast, and we may see rain during the game. It will be a good track to bat where batsmen can freely play their strokes. The side batting first shall be happy to have 180 runs on the board in this game.  

OUR PREDICTION      

The South Africans have struggled in both games. Their bowlers haven't troubled the hosts, and the batting lineup has struggled with the strike rate. The team needs a better performance from the senior players to win this game. West Indies has a strong batting lineup and depth in the bowling attack, making them favorites.  

Our prediction is for West Indies to win
