South Africa needs to play according to their fixed game plan against West Indies to make a mark. In the 15th match of the world cup, it will not be surprising to see South Africa lose their fourth. With four consecutive losses, it will put SA in jeopardy as they never got troubled previously in any tournament. It seems time has come for SA to lose as many matches as they afford to. However, it’s disappointing to watch their wickets fall and their bowlers get hammered.
What West Indies needs to do means nothing to them as they have nothing better than play good cricket. Their power hitters like Chris Gayle and Andrew Russel can take the game away from any opposition. Furthermore, West Indies showing good skills as well in their bowling department. Fielding also the best to make the West Indies strong in all three departments for the world cup.
Well, South Africa needs to dominate the West Indians right from the ball number one. SA needs to play as if they’re playing a practice match and with a fixed game plan. This way, they might not feel the pressure and put West Indies under trouble. West Indies can lose another game after winning the first and losing the second. Gigantic West Indies trounced Pakistan and won the battle easily but lost to Australia in their second game.
South Africa needs to learn a lesson from the Aussies as how they played against this formidable team. They should come up with strategies to beat the West Indies in today’s game with some fixed game plans. South Africa seems to be desperate for a win and this will outdo them if they think too much today.
