The West Indies and South Africa will play in the 3rd and final T20 at the Brian Lara Academy in Tarouba on Tuesday and we take a look at some of the betting options available to punters.
All three T20 are been played at this ground and West Indies have wrapped up the series with an unassailable 2-0 lead.
They won the 1st T20 by 7 wickets, chasing down a 175 for victory and in the 2nd T20 on Sunday it was South Africa who won the toss and decided to field.
The West Indies got off to a solid start and eventually finished on 179 for 6 in their 20 overs. There were contributions from a number of batsmen with Shai Hope top scorer with 41 off 22 balls at the top of the order. For South Africa, Lizaad Williams took 3 for 36 in his 4 overs.
South Africa started excellently and lost their first wicket in the 5th over with the score on 63 and they appeared to be cruising to victory when Tristan Stubbs departed for 28 in the 14th over. Things started to fall apart and the last 6 batsmen could only get 16 runs between them.
South Africa were bowled out for 149 losing by 30 runs. Reeza Hendricks was top scorer with a quick-fire 44 off 18 balls in the power play and Romario Shepherd took top bowling honours with 3 for 15 in his 4 overs and Shamar Joseph also took 3 wickets for 31 in his 4 overs.

West Indies 5/8
South Africa 27/20
Although this is a dead rubber, West Indies are playing like a team that has something to prove and if pushed I would be backing them to win the game. The odds are a bit short for me though and I am going to look at some of the other markets on offer.
Top West Indies Batsman, Shai Hope at 23/10
Hope has been in excellent form scoring a 50 in the first T20 and following that up with a quick-fire 41 in the second.
Top South African Bowler, Kwena Maphaka at 5/2
Maphaka was the most economical of the South African bowlers in both T20’s. He hasn’t really been amongst the wickets, but I am hoping the West Indies batsmen try and go after him, which should open up opportunities.
Total Sixes under 17.5 at 3/10
There have been 19 sixes in each of the first two T20’s and this has largely been to the West Indies top order firing, but I have a feeling we could be in for a low scoring game here.
