Hello and welcome to the third T20I between West Indies and South Africa.

The hosts will look to bounce back after a very abject display, especially with the bat. Pollard and co. will be desperate to show that it was nothing more than just a blip. We have another exciting contest waiting in the wings. Can the rebuilding South Africa take the lead or will the Caribbean power hitters bounce back? Stay tuned for toss and further updates.
