Match details

South Africa vs West Indies, CWC 2019 – Match 15

Venue : Rose Bowl, Southampton

details

The Rose Bowl in Southampton is a venue conducive to high scoring, but in the previous World Cup game here, between India and South Africa and it was a tough one for the batsmen and even 228-run chase turned out to be tough. The surface is likely to return to its true nature for this game and one can expect a run feast on Monday.

Preview

After a chastening first week and a half at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019, South Africa will be eyeing their first win as they take on West Indies at the Hampshire Bowl, Southampton on 10th June 2019.

South Africa will be looking for a comeback after a poor start of the tournament with three back to back losses. The fast bowlers' performance in the 6-wicket loss to India must be heartening for the team management, but it's the batsmen who need to step-up against an aggressive West Indies pace attack on Monday.

West Indies have played with typical Caribbean flair and have been fearless in their approach - which also backfired in their last match. The likes of Chris Gayle and Evin Lewis can be devastating at the top and with Andre Russell available to bat at number seven, they bat as deep as any side in the tournament, barring the hosts.
