Captaincy Picks for WI vs SA

Kieron Pollard

West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard wreaked havoc with the willow in the 4th T20I. In a 25-ball knock, Pollard blasted 51* and shattered the South African bowling lineup. If Pollard can repeat his heroics in the 5th T20I as well, then Temba Bavuma and his men will surely be in trouble.

Quinton De Kock

Quinton De Kock showed his class in the 4th T20I against the West Indies. Opening the batting, the stylish left-hander scored a sparkling 60 at the top of the order at a strike rate of close to 140. His innings consisted of 6 fours and 2 sixes. South Africa’s fortunes in the 5th T20I will depend on the kind of start that De Kock provides with the bat.
