West Indies won the toss and will bowl
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the match 37 in the 2007 Cricket World Cup where the hosts West Indies face an exit from their own World Cup if they don't beat a tottering South Africa at the National Cricket Stadium in St George's, Grenada in this, the 13th game of the Super Eights.
It is an absolutely vital game for both camps this one. A defeat for the West Indies will see them surely out, meaning that this World Cup will be like all the previous where the hosts have never won, while South Africa can afford to lose this game but will have to rely on wins in their final two games against a confident New Zealand and a shaky England to go through.
South Africa leave Guyana with their tails between their legs and criticisms raining in on them from all quarters following their meek showing against Bangladesh while the West Indies have not been immune from a few disparaging words either. Victory here is an absolute must, if only to gain some respect.
Team news is that Herschelle Gibbs will miss the match for South Africa and there might be a switch around in the batting order, seeing Loots Bosman come in at the top. Justin Kemp could also have his place taken by Andre Nel. The West Indies will probably keep the same side but hope their main players finally come to the party.
Who will win today? It's a crucial moment for West Indies and South Africa are having a rotten run. Home crowd .... just fancy the West Indies today!
The National Stadium in Grenada has been used on eight previous ODI occasions but not since the West Indies played Bangladesh in 2004 and won by 7 wickets. They beat Australia twice here in 2003 as well. So it could be a positive for the hosts.
It will be the 40th time these two sides have played in one-day internationals and South Africa lead the head-to-head 26-12 with 1 no-result. The West Indies won the last game by 6 wickets at the ICC Champions Trophy at Jaipur.
They have played three times previously in World Cups. South Africa won the first meeting in 1992 at Christchurch but West Indies have won the other two - in 1996 at Karachi and in Cape Town in 2003 when they won by 3 runs.
The highest individual score for West Indies v South Africa is 152* by Chris Gayle at Johannesburg in 2003/2004.
The highest individual score for South Africa v West Indies is 139 by Jacques Kallis at Johannesburg in 2003/2004.
The best bowling performance for West Indies v South Africa is 4-44 by Keith Arthurton at Bloemfontein in 1998/1999.
The best bowling performance for South Africa v West Indies is 6-35 by Shaun Pollock at East London in 1998/1999.
Mark Benson and Daryl Harper are the umpires for this game with Aleem Dar is the third man chair and Asad Rauf the fourth umpire. Chris Broad is the match referee.
