THE PREDICTION

After a dominating display across the test series, South Africa will want to ensure a similar showing across the white ball phase of the West Indies’ tour, starting with this first ODI at Buffalo Park. They squad is stacked from both a batting and bowling perspective, whilst West Indies will welcome the likes of Nicholas Pooran, and Romario Shepherd into the fold. However, this Proteas unit is well-balanced and equipped in terms of how to approach the 50-over format and with home advantage also in their favour, South Africa are well worth backing to clinch the opening ODI.
