WI vs RSA Team Previews
West Indies
The West Indies have continued and will complete this series without several first-choice players who were involved in the Indian Premier League. This includes Andre Russell and Rovman Powell. But the team has done well despite a few key absentees. Let's see how they could fare this time.
Brandon King and Roston Chase could be instrumental with the bat again. King put in a match-winning half-century in the first match and Chase did the same - and snared an important wicket in the second. Chase is an under-rated all-rounder. Romario Shepherd is also an outstanding all-rounder.
The Windies used eight bowlers in the previous match. They really did not let the South African batters settle against any bowler in particular before making a swap. Gudakesh Motie was the best of the lot, taking three key wickets in conditions that should be conducive for the spinner again here.
West Indies Playing 11
Brandon King, Johnson Charles, Kyle Mayers, Alick Athanaze, Andre Fletcher, Fabian Allen, Hayden Walsh, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph, Obed McCoy.
South Africa
South Africa showed a lot of promise with the bat at the top of the order in the second T20I. Reeza Hendricks was again on point and, this time, was well supported by the hard-hitting Quinton de Kock. The top five batters all enjoyed good starts, but not one managed to convert to a total of Chase-esque significance.
Ryan Rickelton and Matthew Breetzke, in particular, if given another chance this time, need to kick on. Andile Phehlukwayo and Wiaan Mulder, as two solid all-rounders, will want to show their collective and individual mettle with the bat and ball.
The Proteas debuted Nqaba Peter earlier this week. He claimed two wickets and should be retained in the XI. Whether the visitors open the bowling with a spinner again - perhaps Bjorn Fortuin again - remains in the balance. Anrich Nortje's form is cause for concern. He had a poor IPL and has not been any better for the Proteas lately.
South Africa Playing 11

WI vs RSA Toss Prediction
This match will be played at Sabina Park. The team that batted first won the match on the previous two occasions at this venue this series.
It's probable the captain to win the toss this time will take their cue from that record and choose to bat first as well.
Read our guide on toss predictions to learn how we analyze and come up with our tips.
Pitch and Conditions
It will be interesting to see if a fresh or older pitched is used for this fixture. A first-innings total of 180-plus should be considered competitive here. Both teams will likely play two specialist spinners.
Thundershowers are forecast in Kingston on matchday, but perhaps not enough to truly threaten the full extent and completion of this match.
WI vs RSA Betting Tips
The West Indies have a lot of momentum, homeground advantage, stronger batting resources and a relatively in-form bowling unit. They should complete a three-nil series sweep.
Bet on the West Indies, who are priced at 1.90, to beat South Africa, who have the same outright match odds.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Bet on the home team to win the toss. They have a 50 percent chance of getting this right. If the Windies win the toss, they will likely choose to bat first.
King hit 79 in the first match of the series and 36 in the second. The temporary captaincy is elevating - not limiting - his primary role with the bat at the top of the order.
Motie is averaging three wickets per match this series. He is in great form and fully taking advantage of the spin-friendly conditions. Back him to put in another big performance.
Hendricks hit 87 in the series opener. He followed that with 34 in the second fixture. He is one of South Africa's most important batters. Look forward to another telling innings from Hendricks.
Peter was solid on international debut recently. He took two wickets as South Africa slipped to defeat. Peter can capitalise on extra turn and perhaps a bit of additional bounce at this venue.
