South Africa will face the full force of a kwaad West Indies bowling attack when the two teams clash at the Rose Bowl on Monday (11.30am).
Having lost to Australia by 15 runs after a few review decisions didn’t go their way on Thursday, the islanders believe they lost a game they should have won.
And next up for them is South Africa, who have not won a match in three outings to date at the tournament.

The Windies’ pace attack hold the key for them at the tournament, with captain Jason Holder saying: “The boys are bowling really well at the moment; we’re getting early wickets and [wickets] in the middle [overs].
“We must continue to be aggressive.”

Wicketkeeper Shai Hope adds of the quicks: “It’s much more enjoyable catching it than batting it. It’s very exciting seeing those guys charging with the brand new ball, putting the batsmen under pressure. It’s a sight to see from behind the stumps.”
