West Indies Vs South Africa Live Score Card

New Season: Hosts start as underdogs and take on strong proteas

After six months of short format t20 cricket, now new season begins here in Caribbean. West Indies host a triangular tournament against South Africa and Australia, which will begin today Providence Stadium, Guyana.

World T20 champions West Indies start as underdog on their own soil that because of West Indies Broad and players issues. Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo and Darren Sammy are left out by the selection panel reasons best known to them. After a long time we are going to pollard and Sunil Narine are seen in West Indies jersey. It would be very difficult for West Indies to face strong South African side with second grade team and their performance in one day international is pathetic in the recent past, Of course they haven’t played single ODI in past seven months.

On the other hand strong Proteas is also having few problems as their speed gun Dale Styen was rested by their selection committee. Apart from ABD and de kock form in the IPL and recent past, none of the players are reliable as Amla not playing to his ability and same with Faf Du Plessis. In the absence of Dale Styen, Morne Morkel and Rabada will lead the bowling attack. All-rounder Chris Morris had a very good season in ipl. If he plays with that confidence definitely he comes handy for the captain in crucial times.

It will interesting to watch the contest between the ABD and Sunil Narine. Sunil Narine who is coming back into the team after rectifying hs bowling action.

West Indies (From): Andre Fletcher, Johnson Charles, Marlon Samuels, Darren Bravo, Shannon Gabriel, Jason Holder(c), Kieron Pollard, Denesh Ramdin(w), Carlos Brathwaite, Jonathan Carter, Sunil Narine, Sulieman Benn, Ashley Nurse, Jerome Taylor
