16-Jan-15 - South Africa v West Indies

---

South Africa bring their full strength squad after testing their bench strength in the 3 T20Is. Amla, De Villiers, Steyn and Morkel are back. So Proteas are favorites with very short odds. Chris Gayle's fitness and availability may slightly tilt the odds.



More analysis needs to be done only on the West Indies batting order. Except Gayle and Samuels every one looks out of form. No Dwayne and Darren Bravo to play as well. So the bowling and batting departments missing a lot, what sort of score will they produce and how much can they defend is a mystery.



I won't say South Africa is a worry free pick. Except De Villiers and Amla all other batsmen lack consistency.

14-Jan-15 - South Africa v West Indies

Due to time constraints short tip is provided.

Faf Du Plessis is rested. Duminy makes a come back from knee injury to lead the side. Both teams depended upon one batsman to do bulk of their scoring. But that particular batsman missing for South Africa is a big worry for them as their bowling has not provided any answers yet.

Tip
Rain looks like a threat. Instead of going big I'm taking medium stakes.
West Indies @ 1.90 - 20$ - Betfair

One man army Chris Gayle: Last T20 match was all about him. One should not forget Holder also bowled beautifully. Can South Africans turn the table around?



It's well known now that, all the West Indian batsmen have some sort of form issues except Gayle. Up to some extent the same can be said about South Africa. The telling difference between these two teams is South Africa's stronger bowling and fielding unit. If Gayle is somewhat contained today we have an interesting game on cards.
