IMLT20 2025: Predicting South Africa Masters’ playing XI for their final clash against West Indies Masters

South Africa Masters and West Indies Masters will take on each other in the 14th match of the IMLT20 2025. The match will take place at Shaheed Veer Narayan International Stadium, Raipur, on the 11th of March from 7:30 PM (IST). West Indies Masters are placed fourth in the points table and have a good chance of qualifying for the Playoffs if they beat South Africa Masters in their upcoming game.

South Africa Masters are nearly out of the tournament following their massive 137-run loss against Australia Masters in their previous game. SA Masters will not be under any sort of pressure and would love to cap off their tournament on a good note. They haven’t been able to show up as a unit in batting or bowling fronts. But they would love to cost West Indies their spot.

Here is the probable playing XI of South Africa Masters in their clash against West Indies Masters in the IMLT20 2025 –

Top Order 

Henry Davids and Hashim Amla could open the innings for their side. Davids failed to perform in their previous game where he scored 1(3). Hashim Amla has been SA’s best performer in the tournament. He scored 30(19) against Australia Masters and showed a bit of resistance. Richard Levi scored 22(13) in the previous game and tried to help his side against Australia Masters.

Middle Order 

In the middle order, South African Masters have failed terribly. Alviro Petersen couldn’t get going in the big run chase. His 28(25) while chasing 261 was a poor knock. Jacques Kallis, the South African skipper, needs to take responsibility and bat higher than he did vs AUS. Dane Vilas did a fine job as a wicketkeeper but needs to bat better.

Lower Middle Order

South Africa’s lower middle order has the likes of Jonty Rhodes and Ryan McLaren. Their batting positions depend on the match scenarios. If SA needs someone to anchor the innings, Rhodes could bat at 7. If they need a quick finish, Ryan McLaren might bat above him. The latter will also be handy with the ball. Together, the duo make a good finishing unit.

Bowlers 

South Africa Masters’ bowling unit has been a huge disappointment in IMLT20 2025. Vernon Philander, Thandi Tshabalala, and Garnett Kruger haven’t had any impact on their team. It’s the main reason behind the failure of the Process in the tournament. However, the bowlers will hope to end the tournament on a high against a slightly weaker middle order batting of the West Indies Masters.
