Ball-by-Ball Commentary

Welcome to the 3rd ODI between West Indies and South Africa
With Wavell Hinds left out Marshall comes into the team, with
Edwards and Morton on the bench
Prince is back for South Africa so Ontong, Hall and de Villiers sit
out
The pitch once again looks very good for batting with some dry
grass rolled into it and should get a batting call from the toss
winner
West Indies have won the toss and have decided to turn things round
by chasing today and giving South Africa the first taste at the
crease
Stats show that West Indies are better chasers that target setters
and a game that they have to win to keep the series alive
