West Indies - South Africa Form Analysis
The West Indies suffered defeat at the hands of England in their opening match of the Super Eight. It was their only defeat in the competition following four consecutive wins during the group stage.
However, they bounced back from that result in fine style, beating the US by nine wickets and 55 balls to spare on Saturday morning.
Shai Hope put in his first big innings of the competition, scoring an unbeaten 82 off just 39 balls. He was supported magnificently by Nicholas Pooran, who notched up 27* in 12 balls, wrapping up the match in a little over 10 overs.
Roston Chase and Andre Russell were the top contributors with the ball. Both pacemen picked up three wickets each.
That result has given the Windies a net run rate of +1.814, which could be a crucial factor given that the group could end with three teams tied on four points each.
In head-to-head matches between these two, both teams have split the results 11 wins apiece.
Meanwhile, South Africa will be out for revenge here, having recently suffered a 3-0 clean sweep against the Windies in a three-match T20 series last month.
However, they enter this match in excellent form and are one of only three teams that are still unbeaten in the competition, alongside India and Australia.
The Proteas currently sit atop Group 2 following a narrow seven-run victory over England on Friday afternoon led by another sensational innings by Quinton de Kock at the top of the order.
The wicket-keeper batsman scored a brisk 65 runs in 38 balls and was helped by the ever-dependable David Miller, who made 43 (28) to help the side to what turned out to be a defendable 163/6.
Keshav Maharaj produced the best bowling figures for the Proteas of 2/25, and Kagiso Rabada put in another solid effort taking 2/32 in his four-over allotment.
