WI vs SA 1st T20I: Possible Playing 11 of West Indies

WI Playing 11: After losing the Test series, West Indies will be up against South Africa in the start of a crucial T20 series here at Grenada. Both teams will be looking to gain some form here with T20 World Cup to be held later this year. SA were low in confidence coming into this tour but the Test series win would have given them lots of confidence. The Proteas also lead the head-to-head record over WI 6-4. But they will be aware of the danger that this West Indian side possesses in this format.

West Indies’ T20 side looks totally different from their Test squad. With several new faces in the team including the return of captain Pollard, they are likely to put up a tough fight here.

The return of the ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle gives WI experience at the top. They have a blockbuster team with plenty of experience of T20 cricket. Pollard and Pooran will play an important role in the middle overs. Also, it will be interesting to see exciting T20 stars like Russell and Bravo. As evident from this team, we are likely to witness a good amount of sixes in this match.
