Team Analysis: South Africa
Rassie van der Dussen, who has a groin injury, may be dropped. In place of him, Aiden Markram will most probably get into the eleven. There’s no update on Lungi Ngidi’s injury, and he may have to warm the bench yet again. Hashim Amla’s poor performance is also a point of concern. So, he will be eyeing to get some runs. Other than this, no other replacements are expected.
Full squad: Faf du Plessis (C), Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock (wk), JP Duminy, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Chris Morris, Lungi Ngidi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Beuran Hendricks, Imran Tahir, Rassie van der Dussen.
Team Analysis: West Indies
The Windies squad might not do any changes in their playing XI even after a close defeat in the last game against Australia. Almost every batsman in the team looked in great touch; now they will be looking to utilize their form to take the team to victory.
Full squad: Jason Holder (c), Evin Lewis, Darren Bravo, Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, Carlos Brathwaite, Nicholas Pooran, Oshane Thomas, Shai Hope (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Fabien Allen, Sheldon Cottrell, Shannon Gabriel, Kemar Roach, Ashley Nurse
