WI vs SA Dream11 Prediction

The two sides will begin their preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup with this three-match series. Both sides have a few big names missing due to the ongoing IPL and it will be a massive opportunity for the bench to impress in their absence. Furthermore, a few players in both camps need to find their form ahead of the mega event and they will look to make the most of this series.
Brandon King is leading the West Indies side in this series, while Rassie van der Dussen is leading the Proteas. Meanwhile, alongside their respective agendas, both West Indies and South Africa would also be looking to begin the tour positively with a win.

It is a decent wicket to bat on but it is not expected to be a plain belter. There will be some slowishness in the surface and the pacers and the spinners could use it to their advantage.
In 6 T20I matches here, the average score batting first is 158.
The team batting first has won 3 matches and the team batting second has also won 3 games.
