02/26 03:27 CST South Africa fields against West Indies in heavyweight clash at T20 World Cup South Africa fields against West Indies in heavyweight clash at T20 World Cup AHMEDABAD, India (AP) --- South Africa chose to field first against the West Indies in a heavyweight Super Eights clash at the T20 World Cup on Thursday. One of them will lose for the first time in six matches at the tournament. Ahmedabad's red-soil pitch is expected to give some extra bounce to fast bowlers but both sides are packed with explosive hitters. South Africa named the same squad that trounced co-host India on Sunday. With plenty of left-handers in the Proteas batting lineup, West Indies included spin allrounder Roston Chase in place of Akeal Hosein. Later Thursday, India takes on Zimbabwe in Chennai in a must-win game for both. ___ Lineups: West Indies: Brandon King, Shai Hope (captain), Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Roston Chase, Romario Shepherd, Jason Holder, Matthew Forde, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph. South Africa: Aiden Markram (captain), Quinton de Kock, Ryan Rickelton, Dewald Brevis, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi. ___ AP cricket: https://apnews.com/hub/cricket
