West Indies defeated South Africa by 48 runs in the second One-Day International (ODI) to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The first ODI was rained out, so the Proteas must win the final match to avoid the embarrassment of losing an ODI series at home. South Africa’s batting and bowling were both poor in the second game, and the hosts’ socks must be pulled up quickly.
The 3rd ODI between South Africa vs West Indies will take place on March 21st, 2023 at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom.
Match Details to Note
Match: South Africa vs West Indies, 3rd ODI, West Indies tour of South Africa, 2023

Venue: Senwes Park, Potchefstroom
South Africa (Match Odds – 1.28):
Preview:
South Africa had entered the series as the favourite. After all, they are playing at home and have recently defeated world champions England 2-1. However, their performance in the second ODI against the West Indies was subpar. South Africa were bowled out for 287 on a slow batting deck at Buffalo Park in East London after allowing 335 runs with the ball.
Captain Temba Bavuma led from the front with a blistering 144 off 118 balls, but received little assistance from the rest of the team. This South African batting lineup was a little inexperienced, with newcomers Ryan Rickelton, Tony de Zorzi, and Tristan Stubbs filling out the middle order. Their batting will be bolstered, however, by the return of Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, and David Miller in the third ODI, which is expected to make a significant difference. Miller and Markram, in particular, are in excellent form and pose a significant threat to the West Indies.
South Africa’s bowling has been erratic in the second ODI. Lungi Ngidi and Lungi Ngidi, the team’s two frontline pacemen, went for 76 and 77 in their 10 overs, respectively. Gerald Coetzee, a right-arm fast bowler, finished his debut match with figures of 3-57. In the middle overs, he showed signs of being a reliable wicket-taking seam option.
Full Squad:
Temba Bavuma (captain), Gerald Coetzee, Quinton de Kock (wkt), Tony de Zorzi, Bjorn Fortuin, Reeza Hendricks, Sisanda Magala, Lungi Ngidi, Ryan Rickelton, Wayne Parnell, Andile Phehlukwayo, Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs, Lizaad Williams, Rassie van der Dussen

West Indies (Match Odds – 3.70):
Preview:
The West Indies played a near-perfect second ODI. They batted first on a slow Buffalo Park wicket and scored 335 runs. Shai Hope, the captain, set the tone with an unbeaten 128 off 115 balls. Rovman Powell’s blistering 46 off 49 balls helped the team to a match-winning total.
Another batter to keep an eye out for is Nicholas Pooran. In his last ten games, the stylish left-handed batter has scored 392 runs at an average of 39.20 and a strike rate of 94.
The previous game’s standout bowlers were Alzarri Joseph (3-53 off 8.4 overs) and left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein (3-59) off 10 overs. Jason Holder is a consistent new ball bowler who will come in handy on this slow surface. Odean Smith is prone to leaking runs, and South African batters are likely to target him.
Full Squad:
Shai Hope (captain), Shamarh Brooks, Yannic Cariah, Keecy Carty, Roston Chase, Shannon Gabriel, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, Romario Shepherd, Odean Smith
