South Africa will lock horns against West Indies in Match 15 of the ICC World Cup at The Rose Bowl in Southampton in a short while from now. The match is scheduled to begin at 3 pm IST. South Africa would be hoping to get a win under their belt after losing all three of their previous encounters. West Indies are comparatively in a much better position on the points table with one win in two of their games. Toss Update West Indies captain Jason Holder won the toss and elected to field first. Holder: We'll bowl first. Overcast conditions all around and rain is expected, so this is the right decision. No point on dwelling on past results and South Africa are in a difficult situation as well. Hopefully we can do better. Windies have made two forced changes. Andre Russell isn't fit, so Darren Bravo is in. Opener Ewin Lewis also misses out.  Seasoned seamer Kemar Roach makes the cut in the playing eleven. Du Plessis: We would have bowled first as well with this weather around. There is forecast for rain and it could be an overcast game throughout. We played two of the strongest sides early on and the guys are looking not to be negative because that will set them further down. It's a long tournament. We've two changes - Aiden Markram is back and Beuran Hendricks is in as well. Here is the playing eleven of both the teams

West Indies (Playing XI): Chris Gayle, Shai Hope(w), Darren Bravo, Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder(c), Carlos Brathwaite, Ashley Nurse, Kemar Roach, Sheldon Cottrell, Oshane Thomas
