West Indies and South Africa face off for one final time before the T20 World Cup in the ongoing three-match T20 series in Jamaica. The hosts have been rather clinical in a couple of matches so far with different players putting their hand up and be counted for the West Indies. Skipper Brandon King and left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie have been two standout performers with the likes of Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd and Kyle Mayers also contributing when the team needed the most and the hosts are now 2-0 ahead.
South Africa have badly missed their first-choice players. While some of them are in transit from India to the Caribbean for the series and the T20 World Cup, a few have been rested after the long IPL season and three of them are involved in the final for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. With Quinton de Kock and some of the bowlers finding form in the second game, the Proteas will be keen to avoid a whitewash and go into the T20 World Cup with some momentum, even though that will be a different team.
The bowling will remain a concern for South Africa though as the likes of Lungi Ngidi, Gerald Coetzee and Anrich Nortje haven't looked as sharp as they would want them to and since the Proteas are only playing an intra-squad match, this is the final game before the big dance.
