Ian Bishop at the pitch report in Dubai: "This surface here as we stand on it right now looks to have enough grass, not a lot of grass. It is cut very low and it is right across a very hard surface. It looks really firm and should be a good cricket surface. There won't be any dew that means the conditions will be equal through both innings. South Africa's pacers bowled a lot of back of a length against Australia and will look to do the same against West Indies."

Chris Gayle's recent struggles with the bat have not undermined his status as a West Indian great who can work wonders at the Twenty20 World Cup, assistant coach Roddy Estwick said on Monday.

"Chris has been a wonderful servant for West Indies cricket. We still expect great things from him," said Estwick, who is a former Barbados player.

Smarting from opening game losses, a good batting display will be high on the agenda for South Africa and defending champions West Indies when the two teams lock horns in a Super 12 match of the T20 World Cup in Dubai on Tuesday.

While South Africa were handed a five-wicket defeat by Australia, West Indies sank to six-wicket loss against England on Saturday.

It will be imperative that both sides improve upon their batting as they seek to register their first points in the group. Put in to bat, both sides struggled to put runs on the board. West Indies were skittled for just 55 runs while the Proteas were a touch better, managing 118 in 20 overs thanks to Aiden Markram’s 36-ball 40.
