Overview

The race for the final two spots in the tri-nation series is hotting up. Hosts West Indies come into this clash on the back of an important four-wicket win over Australia in their last game on 13 June, which saw them move to the second place in the points table with two wins from three games played.

Marlon Samuels was the star of the show against Australia. His 87-ball 92 helped his team chase the 267-run target, which was preceded by some incisive bowling spells by skipper Jason Holder and Kieron Pollard. The hosts have no injury worries at the moment.

South Africa have had a disappointing tournament so far. The Proteas have flattered to deceive, winning just one game out of the three played which has left them at the bottom of the points table with five points.

Skipper AB De Villiers will need to ensure that he leads from the front both with the bat and through his captaincy. He has had a poor tournament in both the departments. Morne Morkel is expected to replace Kyle Abbott while Chris Morris might get a look in, most probably in place of Wayne Parnell.
