Meanwhile, South Africa bowled extremely well in the 3rd T20I against the West Indies batters while defending the target of 168. They will definitely aim to seal the series with one game left. Quinton de Kock is in sublime form and we can expect another big innings from him.

Top Picks for WI vs SA Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Batsmen
Evin Lewis again provided an excellent start for West Indies in the 3rd T20I. He scored 27 runs from 21 balls, taking his total tally of runs to 119 runs in this series.
Temba Bavuma didn’t fire in the 3rd T20I as he was dismissed for just one run. The South African skipper is a resilient player who can bounce back in the 4th T20I.

Andre Russell was in his zone in the 3rd T20I and was smacking the ball really well until he was dismissed for 25 runs from 16 balls, which included 3 sixes.
Fabian Allen is striking the ball really well at the end overs. The Jamaican all-rounder has scored 48 runs in 2 innings at a strike rate of 228.57 and has scalped 2 wickets as well.

Obed McCoy has impressed everyone with his exceptional bowling. He is the leading wicket-taker in this series with 7 wickets in 3 matches at an economy of 6.41, with the best figures of 4 for 22.
Tabraiz Shamsi is the most economical bowler in this series and he was the player of the match in the 3rd T20I for his figures of 2 for 13.

WI vs SA Risky Captaincy Choices:
Obed McCoy is giving a hard time for the South African batters in this series. It’s worth a risk to pick him as your fantasy team skipper.
Reeza Hendricks is getting starts but he doesn’t have a big score in this series yet. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.
Player you should avoid:
It’s not easy for the middle-order batters to come and play their natural innings especially on this surface, hence you can avoid David Miller while making your fantasy team, though it’s a tough call.
