The 18th Match of the T20 World Cup 2021/22 is scheduled to play South Africa vs West Indies on Tuesday, 26th October 2021 at ubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.

South Africa was put in to bat first after losing the toss. The batting order of South Africa totally failed to give the best performance. They could manage to score just 118 runs in their 20 overs inning. Aiden Markram was the highest run-scorer from their side who scored 40 runs on 36 balls with the help of three boundaries and one huge six. Kagiso Rabada also performed well with the bat. He scored 19 runs and one boundary and the same huge six during his inning.

A strong and dangerous batting order of T20 cricket was all out on the total of 55 runs in 14.2 overs bowled out. Is this a joke? no, it is the real strength of the first match of West Indies against England. This is cricket and everything is possible in this game. Shimron Hetmyer, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell, Kieron Pollard. Evin Lewis and Lendl Simmons are known as hard hitters and if just one out of the above-mentioned players may perform well, the result of the match can be different.

South Africa had played 15 matches against West Indies where South Africa had won 9 matches while West Indies had won 6 matches.

The 18th Match of World Cup T20 2020-21 is going to be held at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 170 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Dubai is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
