Pitch Report of Buffalo Park:
Buffalo Park historically a pitch that’ll suit the fast bowlers. They enjoy the bounce that it offers, and both the teams have bowlers that can hit the deck hard to extract purchase out of it. It’s going to be a challenging task as far as the batters are concerned. Having weather around too, the batting will be a bit difficult at the start with the new ball nipping around and that extra-bounce will end up causing trouble to the batter. There won’t be much for the spinners at the beginning, but they might come into play as the game moves on.
Dream11 Fantasy Preview and Head To Head Matches Numbers For SA vs WI:
South Africa will be taking on West Indies in the First of the three match ODI series here in Buffalo Park, East London on Thursday.
South Africa are riding high on that fantastic Test series win against West Indies. Although, South Africa were not great in patches in that series they need to sort out a few things here. Very recently South Africa and England were involved in a ODI series before this. South Africa emerged victorious to take the series 2-1.
Given how the record has been, South Africa are expected to win this particular series as well. However, with how things went with the bat, South Africa must be wary about what West Indies possess a bowling unit. Some of the key players with the bat for South Africa are, Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen, Temba Bavuma and Henrich Klaasen. Aiden Markram especially is in red hot form. As far as South Africa’s bowling is concerned, they have the likes of Anrich Nortje, Sisanda Magala, Kagiso Rabada, Wayne Parnell.
It’s going to be quite a task for a team like West Indies who are not having much of a success in any of the formats. Last time West Indies were involved in a ODI series was back in August 2021. With ODI World Cup later in the year, West Indies need to sort out their plans as quickly as possible. This means, they will mostly be playing for qualification from here on.
With Shai Hope leading the side, he’s expected to make bulk of scoring as well. Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran, Kyle Mayers all has the talent but it’s all about bringing it on the field on that given day. Jason Holder and Akeal Hosein have been impressive in the recent past with the ball for them.

Temba Bavuma is a key player for the side. Bavuma is riding high on that gritty hundred in the recently concluded and he’s been in exceptional form as well.
