WI vs SA, 9th Match: Who will win?

West Indies lost their last match to Australia, who by virtue of this win, have qualified for the finals. They will now face South Africa in the 9th and the last group match at the Kensington Oval in Barbados on the 24th of June. The winner of this match will play the final of this tri-nation series against Australia on Sunday. This game can be seen as a virtual semi-final where both teams will look to give their best to clinch the place in the final. Live action is scheduled to begin at 1 PM local time.    

Read on for our betting tips and match prediction on West Indies vs South Africa Tri-Nation series 2016 9th Match....

Venue and Toss

The last game here was a high-scoring one with Australia chasing down West Indies' 282 quite easily in the end. The wicket on Friday is also expected to be good for batting and it should favor the faster bowlers more than the spinners. So the team that bats first will want to get as close to 300 as possible.

Toss could have its significance as the team batting second at this ground has won 10 out of the last 15 completed games. So whichever team wins the toss on Friday will probably prefer to chase here. 

The match could go either way if West Indies win the toss. Otherwise, it will get tough for the hosts to beat South Africa.

If WI Bat First

Predicted score: 270 and above

Andre Fletcher has been pretty ordinary in this series and not much will be expected of him. His opening partner Charles has had a better series, and he along with Bravo at no.3 will be the main batsmen at the top. The middle order looks good with Samuels and Ramdin both being amongst the runs. If these four score well, West Indies should be able to reach 270 with Pollard down the order.

South Africa's bowling attack is likely to be led by Rabada and Parnell. The two speedsters have bowled well so far with four wickets apiece, and they will be backed by their team to pick up early wickets. Morris should also come into play on a wicket that is expected to assist the seamers. If Tahir, too, bowls well, it won't be easy for the West Indies to get to 270.

If SA Bat First

Predicted score: 280 and above

The opening pair of Amla and de Kock had put up a brilliant 182 run-stand in their last match against the Windies. If the two get going again, the hosts will be in all sorts of problems. du Plessis, de Villiers and Duminy make up a solid middle-order. If South Africa keep wickets in hand, de Villiers could unleash his explosive batting skills at the death to power his team to 280 or even more.

Gabriel removed Khawaja early in the last match and his good bowling figures could give him another chance to open the bowling for the Windies. Holder has picked up a hamstring injury and it will be a big setback for the hosts if he misses out in this must-win game. Brathwaite has also done well for his side with six wickets in the series and he will be having a lot of hopes pinned on him. Narine has been their best bowler and he will need to bowl well if West Indies are to restrict the Proteas under 280.

Our Prediction

West Indies have a very poor record at the Kensington Oval with only four wins in the last 16 ODIs. South Africa, on the other hand, have played here four times and have three wins with the last match being washed out. So the Proteas will be coming with a 100% win record. Coming back to this series, the Windies have suffered back-to-back defeats and they were brushed aside by South Africa in their most recent match against them at St Kitts.

While the West Indies are a team that cannot be taken lightly, especially in limited overs cricket, we're confident enough to back South Africa here to win this match and book a meeting with Australia in the final.
