Dwayne Bravo -
ALL-ROUNDER Dwayne Bravo said the West Indies players are eager to play the deciding fifth T20 International against South Africa on Saturday because they strive in big moments.
The match will be played at the National Cricket Stadium in St George s, Grenada, from 2 pm.
Bravo helped West Indies level the series 2-2 on Thursday with a 21-run win. The medium pacer grabbed career-best figures of 4/19 in four overs to help limit South Africa to 146/9 in 20 overs chasing 168 for victory.
Bravo, speaking to journalists on Zoom on Friday, said, “Winner take all, it’s a big game for us and we strive on big moments and big games. As you can see (on Thursday) it was a game that we had to win in order to keep ourselves alive in the series and I think it was the first time we batted first in the tournament and we showed the ability that we can defend even a par total…the team that turn up best on the day would win.”

ST GEORGE’S, Grenada – Captain Kieron Pollard has defended West Indies’ aggressive batting approach in the Twenty20 International series against South Africa, stressing his side were unwilling to “compromise our strengths” ahead of the critical third match on Tuesday.
West Indies stunned the Proteas by eight wickets in the opener last Saturday, producing a dominant pursuit of 161 to win easily with five overs to spare at the Grenada National Stadium.
In the second game on Sunday, the home side again went hard at a target of 167 but were let down by several injudicious shots during the middle overs, to fall short by 16 runs.
