At The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Tuesday, South Africa and West Indies will play for the third time in three days to decide the outcome of their respective series after witnessing arguably the greatest T20I match ever.
The stage is perfectly set for an epic match between these two nations after the second Twenty20 International saw a combined total of 517 runs scored in less than 40 overs. Let’s begin by taking a comprehensive look at the anticipated starting XI, team news, the weather report, and a lot more.
At the Centurian, South Africa scored 259 runs in 20 overs, the fastest chase in T20 international history. The Proteas, led by their star southpaw Quinton de Kock, broke their streak of three consecutive losses in the format by keeping the series alive and doing so in style.
After losing the second Twenty20 International, the West Indies would be devastated. Johnson Charles had scored the fastest century by a West Indian, taking eight fewer balls than Chris Gayle, and had led the West Indies to 258 runs.
However, their bowling unit let runs slip because no bowler averaged less than 10 runs per over. The away team will be eager to seek retribution in Johannesburg due to the high stakes.

The third T20I does, without a shadow of a doubt, possess the ingredients and potential to win. Since each team has a star batsman who is playing well, their spinners may be the deciding factor in this game’s outcome.
We predict that South Africa will defeat West Indies in Johannesburg to win the series 2-1. At odds of 1.44, South Africa is favored to defeat West Indies.
When the temperature is between 23 and 18 degrees during match hours, there is only a 3% chance that rain will stop the play.
In a T20I, the average batting score in the first innings is 173 runs, so both captains will be eager to use the pitch as soon as possible. The two skippers will lock to bat first at this scene.
Fast bowlers don’t get enough bounce and swing from the pitch, which helps batsmen get into their rhythm. In the middle overs, however, spinners may receive an unexpected turn.
Three of the last 5 experiences between the two countries have been won by South Africa.
