South Africa vs West Indies 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction: SA vs WI Possible Playing 11 and Fantasy Picks

South Africa and West Indies will clash in the first of the three-match ODI series, scheduled to start on Thursday (March 16) at the Buffalo Park in East London.

Temba Bavum, who led South Africa to a series white-wash on his Test captaincy debut, will look aim for the same when the Proteas face Shai Hope-led West Indies.

With many key players missing for the hosts, we will see many new faces in their team as Tony de Zorzi, Gerald Coetzee, Bjorn Fortuin and Lizaad Williams all get a look in. But all of them being involved in the series opener seems unlikely.

As for West Indies, Hope, Nicholas Pooran, Rovman Powell, Odean Smith, Romaria Shepherd and Akeal Hosein are the players that will feature in the team alongside Jason Holder, Alzarri Joseph among others.

South Africa vs West Indies 1st ODI Match Prediction

Following the Test series win and as hosts, South Africa start favourites. But with most of the regulars set to miss the first two ODIs, West Indies will have a chance as they will be able to field a much more settled team than the hosts.
