West Indies team
West Indies has won the series recently. This was as a result of the hard work of the West Indian batsmen. West Indies won the 1st two matches of the series. Coming to ODI matches, although West Indies has the good team but some players in the middle order need to be concentrate on their stand on the crease. As it is 50 over match, so all the players should perform according to their capability. In T20 generally, performance of only one or maximum 2 players are enough to keep the match on the safe side but in ODI, each player needs to put up his efforts to make the victory possible for the team.
South Africa team
South Africa needs to win this match because this is its home ground and the defeat on own home ground is never acceptable. South Africa has the good batsmen as well as bowlers. South Africa has the world best batsman De Villiers, so it has the players. Bowlers include Dale Steyn. Besides him, Imran Tahir is the dominant spinner in the team. South Africa only needs to have the proper plan and good captaincy techniques. South Africa should win this match to put the pressure on the West Indies for the upcoming matches of the series.
