Match Preview
West Indies and South Africa will be playing their fourth match of the tri-series when they face off against each other at the Warner Park in St Kitts. The match will be played on June 15 with live action scheduled to begin at 1 PM local time. The hosts had won against South Africa in the opening game of the series at Guyana, and the Proteas will be keen for a payback when the two sides meet for the second time. With West Indies playing well, it should be a cracker of a contest on Wednesday.

Venue and Toss
This has been that kind of a surface where batsmen have scored runs and bowlers have been rewarded with wickets if the ball is pitched in the right areas. The average score in the first innings at the Warner Park is close to 270. So 280 and above should be a match-winning total on this ground.
The team that has batted first here have won 11 times in the 16 games played at this venue. So toss is going to be crucial, and whoever wins it on Wednesday will want to bat first.
If the hosts win the toss and post a total of around 280, they will have a strong chance of winning by exerting pressure on South Africa with their spinners. But it could be anybody's game if the toss goes the other way.

If WI Bat First
Predicted score: 260 and above
Charles has been the better of the two openers as Fletcher's top-score has only been 27 in three games. So if Fletcher departs early, it will be up to Bravo and Samuels to consolidate the innings. Bravo is the leading run-scorer for West Indies while Samuels played a terrific knock of 92 in the previous match. So the ones to watch out for at the top will be Charles, Bravo and Samuels. West Indies will need these three to score big and then Pollard to fire towards the end if they are to score in excess of 270.
Abbott and Rabada could start the proceedings with the new ball for South Africa. Rabada has taken four wickets in his last two games and he will be backed to dismiss Fletcher early on. Spinners Tahir and Phangiso have both taken 6 wickets each and the hosts could find it difficult to score against them later on. If South Africa remove Charles, Bravo and Samuels early, it will become tough for Ramdin and Pollard to take West Indies beyond 260.
South Africa Team News & Playing 11
If SA Bat First
Predicted score: 270 and above
Hashim Amla is their leading run-scorer and his partnership with de Kock will be important for South Africa. du Plessis scored 63 in his first match and looks to be in form. Duminy has also been consistent and de Villiers is always a dangerous batsman once he gets going. So if the top four bat well, South Africa should get past 270 with Duminy and the rest to follow.
Holder and Taylor are likely to open the bowling for the Windies and the former ranks among the top 10 bowlers in this series. Brathwaite and Pollard also look good with two wickets each in their previous match. But facing Sunil Narine will be the biggest challenge for the South African batsmen. With 8 wickets in the bag, the off-spinner has been the best bowler for the West Indies. If Amla, de Villiers and Duminy fail to score much, South Africa will struggle to reach 270.
Our Prediction
The hosts have so far performed well above everyone's expectations. They have beaten South Africa and Australia once in this series in the absence of their big players. South Africa, on the other hand, have lost two of their first three games and will be desperate for a win on Wednesday. If their batsmen can tackle Narine and do not choke under pressure, the Proteas should definitely go on to win.
Although West Indies have the momentum on their side, we're predicting South Africa to win this match and bounce back in the series.
