Here’s a team capable of beating the mighty South Africans

As South Africa head into their second Super Eight game against West Indies today, after comprehensively beating England a couple of days ago, they look pretty unbeatable. Many wonder who can beat them in this form, and surprisingly today’s opponents West Indies may spring into mind.

How can a team that has suffered a mauling against England earlier this year, beat, no, thrash Australia before coming back from a tough position to beat defending champions India with 8 balls to spare.

Chris Gayle is no doubt the threat at the top of the Windies order, but Dwayne Bravo with both bat and ball can single handedly win games, just like he did yesterday. He took 4-38 with the ball, before clubbing 66 off 36 balls. Shiv Chanderpaul hit some good shots yesterday, while Ramnaresh Sarwan is always handy with the bat.

Fidel Edwards and Jerome Taylor are good bowlers too, and with the team work and unity they showed against the Indians they can beat the South Africans. Expect more upsets, thrills and spills from this team as the dark horses make a charge for the World Twenty20 cup…
