West Indies vs South Africa Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's 4th T20 Match - July 1st, 2021
The fourth T20I between South Africa and West Indies is set to take place at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada on Thursday.
After a tough start to the series, South Africa have hit back with two imperative bowling performances, fuelled by Tabraiz Shamsi. Alongside Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje, Shamsi has dominated the West Indian batting unit, but the task is far from done. The South Africans are a win away from sealing a memorable series win and would bank on Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen to deliver the goods with the bat.
The Windies, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency and failed to click as a unit. Led by Kieron Pollard, West Indies have shown glimpses of what they are capable of doing and will hope for a complete performance to level the series on Thursday. All eyes will be on Nicholas Pooran, who has underwhelmed this year in the T20 format, with the likes of Evin Lewis and Andre Russell also being key to the Windies' fortunes.
Although both teams look evenly matched on paper, South Africa hold the edge, owing to two consecutive wins in the series. Nevertheless, we should be in for a cracking game of T20 cricket at the National Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

Pitch Report
Although the pitch at the National Cricket Stadium has slowed down as the series progressed, it should still offer a lot of runs. While the pacers should get some swing early on, they will ideally revert to off-pace deliveries as the match progresses. The spinners should play a more significant role in this game, with wickets in hand being key for either side. With the pitch expected to slow down, both teams might prefer batting first upon winning the toss. 160-170 should be a good total, but both teams are more than capable of breaching the 180-run mark.
