Quinton de Kock got the Proteas off to a flyer on Wednesday. Batting first de Kock made 72 of their total of 167/8 with van der Dussen next highest scorer with 32. Obed McCoy returned outstanding figures of 4/22.
The top 5 in the West Indies batting order all got a start but 27 was their highest individual total (Lewis and Pooran).
West Indies needed 15 to win off the last over and although the final ball went for 6 all Rabada had to do was guard against bowling a wide or no ball and the Proteas were home by 1 run.
Tabraiz Shamsi claimed 2 wickets and his 4 overs went for just 13 runs, a crucial contribution in the final outcome which earned him the Man of the Match award.
Earlier in the series West Indies drew first blood with n 8 wicket victory and South Africa squared things up with a 16 run win in the second match.

The Verdict
The Proteas can close the series out if they win here, something which seemed unlikely after the opening match was dominated by the hosts.
At the time of writing all I had to work with was the match result market and the momentum is with the Proteas who's bowlers seem to be more effective than those of the Windies.
Whilst not a confident selection I'll go with the Proteas to make it 3-1 and claim a series victory
Bets: South Africa to win at even money
