WI vs ZAF 2nd T20I match prediction 27 Jun 2021

WI vs SA Match Predictions and Betting Tips

South Africa and West Indies will test each other for the 2nd time in the South Africa tour to West Indies. The game will commence at the National Cricket Stadium in St George’s, Grenada on June 27. I have collated the top WI vs SA match predictions and betting tips from the game for you.

West Indies did not fare well against South Africa in the two test matches played by the teams. They then showed the South Africans their skill at the shorter format of cricket and it was beautiful. South Africa scored 160/6 from their 20 overs which seemed like a small target for a batting pitch. West Indies then came out and showed that it was a small target indeed. They covered up 161 runs in just 15 overs, with 8 wickets remaining giving the Windies squad the much-needed win at home. Evin Lewis was the main contributor for their win and he scored 71 runs at a strike rate of 202.85. After their successive wins in the Test matches, South Africa would want to get a clean win in the T20 format as well. But we can’t always get what we want and the oddsmakers have tagged Windies the clear favourites after the domination in the first game. I have picked out the top West Indies vs South Africa match predictions and betting tips out for you.

WI vs SA Player Bets

The player bets offered by the oddsmakers have some markets that stand out completely. These are players who stand a chance to win you a lot of money through their skills. Take a look at the top WI vs SA player betting tips.

Quinton de Kock to score over 23.5 runs

If you followed my tips on the ex-South African skipper you are bound to have won a lot of money from his knock in the 1st T20I. Quinton de Kock opened the first match and scored 37 runs from 34 balls. He has played a total of 48 games with 1340 runs from them averaging 31.16. He has played only two T20 matches against West Indies and scored well over the target in both games. The last time he played West Indies was in India in 2016 and he scored 47 runs in that game as well. Quinton de Kock has already given an idea of how he is going to be playing this tournament, with two successful knocks of 141* and 96 runs in the Test matches. Then he came out and crossed the target patiently in the T20 too.

This was Quinton’s first T20 game in West Indies and under his newly anointed skipper Temba Bavuma. He has played 14 games in the opponents' territory and scored 400 runs from his away games. This averages 30.76, and he scored over the target in his last three matches in 2021 and 2019. Quinton de Kock has played in 13 games which are the second match of the series and he scored 447 runs from them at 40.63. He scored over the target in his last 7 such games and has only been beaten under the target twice. This is one of the top SA vs WI match predictions. Dafabet.com has offered odds of 1.87 for Quinton de Kock to score over 23.5 runs.

Rassie van der Dussen to score over 24.5 runs

The 2nd down for South Africa is also a force to be reckoned with, and left unchained can wreak some real havoc. In the first T20I Rassie van der Dussen was undefeated at the end of 20 overs at 56* runs. This isn’t unusual for the attacking batsman who has scored 684 runs from 21 matches, at an average of 45.60. To give you a glimpse of his current form, let me iterate his scores for you in his last 5 games are ~ 56*, 52, 34*, 74*, 25* ~ which is astounding. He has gotten out only once in the games, hit 3 of his 5 half-centuries, and has hit over the target in all the games. Rassie van der Dussen actually scored below the target 9 games ago against Australia.

This was his first T20 against the West Indies and he showed his mettle in the game. I talked in the Test matches about how Rassie van der Dussen has a better success rat in his 2nd team innings, and this reflects in his T20 performance too. Rassie van der Dussen has played 7 games which were the 2nd game of the series and scored 228 runs from them, at 45.60. He scored over the target in 5 of the 7 games, and all three games last year. This is another one of the top WI vs SA match predictions. Dafabet.com has offered odds of 1.87 for Rassie van der Dussen to score over 24.5 runs.

Evin Lewis to score over 23.5 runs

The last bet is for the Windies opener who was also the player of the match in the last game. Evin Lewis has played 35 innings in his career with 1060 runs from them at an average of 32.12. He has also gotten 2 centuries and 7 half-centuries from his games. He wasn’t a part of the Test squad against South Africa, but he scored 71 runs in just 35 balls and was the driving cause for his team’s victory. While all the Windies batsmen played well, Evin Lewis was just hitting boundaries one after another. South Africa hit a total of 5 sixes in the game, while Evin Lewis hit 7 sixes alone.

Evin Lewis has an average of 36.33 from 17 games at home, which is better than his play away. He has played only 2 games in St George’s and scored a half-century in both games. He has had his best play under the leadership of Kieron Pollard with 413 runs from 12 innings at 37.54. He has been defeated under the target only twice in his last 10 games. This is the final WI vs SA 2nd T20I match prediction. Dafabet.com has offered odds of 1.87 for Evin Lewis to score over 23.5 runs.
