SA vs WI: Why is Temba Bavuma Not Playing Today’s South Africa vs West Indies 3rd ODI? Who is South Africa Captain?
South African ODI captain Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the third match against West Indies due to discomfort in his hamstring. The issue arose following the second Betway One-Day International (ODI) against the West Indies. As a precautionary measure, the team management has decided to rest the player in order to avoid any further complications.
Bavuma’s absence is a significant setback for South Africa as he is a key player in the team’s batting line-up. He has been in good form in recent matches and his absence will be felt by the team. However, the team management is taking a cautious approach to his injury in order to avoid any long-term damage to the player. In his absence, Aiden Markram will captain the national team in the SA vs WI third ODI match on Tuesday.
In the second ODI against West Indies, Bavuma led his team from the front with an amazing innings of 144 runs off 118 balls that includes as many as 11 fours and 7 sixes. But unfortunately, he failed to take his team over the line as the Proteas lost the game by a margin of 48 runs.
