Team Analysis
The high scoring 2nd T20 match between South Africa and West Indies exposed several talented players from both sides. These players would prove to be real assets for both of the teams in the upcoming World Cup. From the West Indian side, Roston Chase was on fire and smashed 67* runs off just 38 deliveries. The 32-year old batsman played at an admirable strike rate of 176.31. Not only that, Chase was also responsible for the dismissal of Rezza Hendricks, the dangerous proteas batter.
The West Indian skipper also played at a healthy strike rate, providing a stable start to his team’s innings. Perhaps, the strength exhibited by the West Indian team in the last T20 was their stable middle order with supporting partnerships which enabled them to set a massive target of 207 runs. Gudakesh Motie took 3 crucial wickets at an economy of 5.50, earning him praise from cricket analysts all around the world.
South African wicket-keeper, Quinton de Kock provided a fiery start to the team’s chase in the latest T20 by smashing quick 41 runs at a jaw-dropping strike rate of 241.17. However, this ambition was not shown by the following batsman as the run rate kept piling up. High expectations are surrounding the South African skipper, Rassie van der Dussen to perform in the 3rd T20 and save his team from a white wash.
Moreover, a weakness of the Proteas squad is a poor performance by their bowlers. With the exception of Bjorn Fortuin and Nqabayomzi Peter, all of the African bowlers proved to be quite expensive, averaging 13 runs per over. This was primarily the reason why Brandon King and company were able to set a high target on the scoreboard.
