SA vs WI Dream11 5th Warm-up Match Prediction | South Africa vs Windies ICC World Cup 2019
After trouncing Sri Lanka in their first warm-up match quite convincingly by 87 runs, the determined Proteas will now head into their next game with a lot of confidence to take on the Windies. The match will be played at the County Ground in Bristol.
It was a terrific batting display from the Proteas batsmen as they notched up 338 runs batting first courtesy Hashim Amla, Rassie van der Dussen and skipper Faf du Plessis valiant efforts. Their batting was later supported by their bowling effort which saw them dismissing the SL batsmen for 251 runs in 45.3 overs with Andile Phehlukwayo finishing with figures of 4 for 36. Windies, on the other hand, are coming into this contest after a demeaning defeat against Australia by 8 wickets in one of their practice games.
