Captaincy Picks for WI vs SA

Quinton de Kock

The wicketkeeper-batsman has been at his prime in this tour and he would like to continue his sensational form. South Africa got fiery starts in all the previous games, thanks to De Kock’s blitzes in the top order. So far, the southpaw has amassed 135 runs in three outings with his strike rate being over 140. Not to forget, he has also been clinical behind the stumps.

Tabraiz Shamsi

The left-arm wrist-spinner bowled a sensational spell in the previous game and he won’t mind replicating his heroics. While all the bowlers were being taken to cleaners, Shamsi didn’t let West Indies batsmen breathe easy with his mysterious deliveries. In four overs, he gave away just 13 runs and also picked up two crucial wickets. As a result, South Africa narrowly won the third T20I by one run.
