While the first ODI ended without a result, the second game was won by West Indies. The third encounter will happen at Senwes Park. Here, we look at the pitch report of Senwes Park and the weather conditions in Potchefstroom for SA vs WI 2023.
In the second game, it was the turn of the skippers of both sides to leave an impact. Shai Hope and Temba Bavuma both hit centuries and their current good form bodes well for the team. Especially for the Proteas, it is great that Bavuma has hit form. A few months ago, he was completely out of touch. However, now that he has started doing well, South Africa will be expected to do well in the coming months.
That said, the South African bowlers need to step up. Yes, they do lack experience but against West Indies, the team is expected to do well. West Indies would need the other batters in the line-up to also do well. The likes of Nicholas Pooran and Rovman Powell could help the squad by producing longer innings in comparison to cameos.

Previously known as North West Cricket Stadium, this venue has hosted 19 ODIs, so far. Out of this, 10 games have been won by the side batting second.
Like most of the South African pitches, this venue will be good for the pacers, especially for those who can extract some bounce. Batters will definitely be in the game while spinners could have an impact in the latter half of both the innings.
