Match prediction
Looking at their star-studded squad and the home advantage, West Indies look clear favourites to win the game. The vast experience in Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, and Fidel Edwards is most likely to down the naive bunch of Proteas players.
South Africa has also left Faf du Plessis out of their white-ball series, showing that they want to focus on the youngsters before the T20 World Cup.

Compared to Kieron Pollard, Temba Bavuma is a naive skipper due to the lack of ample T20 cricket experience that most Caribbean players have under their belt.
He has just taken over the captaincy from Heinrich Klaasen and locking horns against an in-form West Indies side would be more than just a difficult task.
