West Indies v South Africa 2nd T20I – Team News

• Evin Lewis – The Windies opener smashed a 35-ball 71 in the series openers and will be full of confidence playing at the same venue.
• Chris Gayle – The powerful batsman was handed the number three slot in the first contest and made a quick-fire 32 as his side picked up the win. He will be another big danger.
• Fabian Allen – The bowling all-rounder took two wickets in the previous game but wasn’t needed with the bat. He is another that will be looking to make another impact.
• Temba Bavuma – The Proteas limited-overs captain overcame an injury to feature in the first match and should be okay to skipper the side again.
• Tabraiz Shamsi – The spinner took the only wicket for South Africa in the last game and should have conditions in his favour once more.
• Janneman Malan – The batsman was in decent form heading into this series but missed out on selection for the first game He could come back in now.

West Indies v South Africa 2nd T20I – Betting Tips and Predictions

South Africa struggled in the first match and will be demanding more of themselves in this one.

West Indies are rightly the favourites after that success in the series opener but this one could be a lot closer.

Back Gayle for Top Batsman

Chris Gayle looked in decent nick in the first game as he quickly got to 32 not out to seal the win for his side.

He hit three sixes in that short spell as well and it would be no surprise to see him do some more damage in this contest,

His price of 4.0 with bet365 to be top batsman for the West Indies looks a good price, especially if he gets a little more time at the crease.

He hadn’t played any competitive action since May but had been in decent form in the IPL this year as well.

South Africa Offer Value

South Africa may have been comfortably beaten in the first game but it seems a little too early to be writing off the visitors.

They have good spin options and a pace attack that may have needed the first game to adapt to away conditions.

If their top order can build a better foundation, in David Miller and Henrich Klassen they have a middle-order that could do some damage late on.

West Indies look to have the edge but a price of 2.41 with Parimatch about the Proteas looks a little too big.

Russell For Player of the Match

Andre Russell looks back to his best lately and was in sparkling form before the IPL was postponed.

He bagged a wicket in the last game and smashed a flurry of late sixes to seal the victory.

Backing him to have another impact with both bat and ball could be the way to go.

It’s a longshot bet but his double-figure price of 10.0 with bet365 to be the player of the match is appealing.
