South Africa looked like they might win their third game in a row and run away with the series but the West Indian captain Kieron Pollard took the game by the scruff of its neck as he put in a match winning performance with both bat and ball. Pollard is a big match player and he loves to take on a challenge and lead from the front.
This is a big game for new T20 captain Temba Bavuma who will gain a lot of confidence if he can lead South Africa to a series win. A lot will depend on the captaincy of Pollard and Bavuma as well as how they perform with the bat.

The West Indies started the series as the betting favorites and continue to be the favorites going into the final T20i. They have odds of 1.44 while the Proteas are the underdogs with odds of 2.10.
We feel the side that bat first will have an extra advantage as there is always more pressure chasing a total in a final. If South Africa can win the toss and bat first, they will have a much better chance of winning the game and the series.
The key players for South Africa with the bat are Quinton de Kock and the experienced David Miller while KG Rabada and George Linde will be the key bowlers for the Proteas.
The West Indies will need Lendl Simmons to fire at the top of the order and their captain Kieron Pollard to make runs lower down the order. Dwayne Bravo and Fabian Allen will be the bowlers that South Africa need to watch out for.
We are going to back the West Indies to win this game.
