The third and final T20 international between West Indies and South Africa takes place in Trinidad on Tuesday and the hosts are bidding for a series clean sweep.
The series opener came on Friday last week and West Indies won it by 7 wickets, Stubbs smashed 76 in the Proteas bat first total of 174/7 but West Indies chased it down in just 17.5 overs with Pooran top scoring with an unbeaten 65.
The second contest on Sunday was a must win for the Proteas but they went down by 30 runs. West Indies batted first and posted 179/6 (Hope 41) and although SA got off to a flyer in the chase their innings folded, all out for 149. Hendricks top scored with 44 and Joseph and Shepherd both claimed 3 wickets.
This was how the teams lined up for the second T20
West Indies: Alick Athanaze, Shai Hope, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Rovman Powell (c), Roston Chase, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Akeal Hosein, Gudakesh Motie, Matthew Forde, Shamar Joseph

The Verdict
The Proteas need to salvage something from the series and given Tristan Stubbs has been the most successful of their batsmen he gets the vote to top score for the visitors.
Ottneil Baartman took 2 wickets in the first match and 1 in the second and although the SA bowlers have been under pressure he could be the answer in the top SA wicket taker market.
Bets: Top SA run scorer Tristan Stubbs at 7/2 with Sportingbet
Top SA wicket taker Ottneil Baartman at 3/1 with Sportingbet
