West Indies played their last series against Sri Lanka in March 2021. Back then West Indies won both T20 and ODI series. The test series was a draw.

South Africa played their last test series against Pakistan. The two-match Test series was scheduled between Jan-Feb 2021. South African team suffered a whitewash by Pakistan. Although home conditions worked in a favour of Pakistan, Proteas performed well. 5 T20I’s and 2 Tests will be played in the series. South Africa vs West Indies T20 series will be important for both teams in preparation for the upcoming T20 world cup this year. Although South Africa will be favorites in the longer format. The Caribbean team has a very strong squad in T20 format.

 

 

For the South African team, Keegan Petersen might make his debut in test cricket. He is a leading candidate to replace Faf Du Plessis. The youngster has been performing consistently in domestic cricket since 2018/19. He scored an average of 61.53 and amassed a total of 923 runs. Also, there were rumors about A B Devilliers comeback in international cricket. But, South African Cricket Board has put these rumors to an end by announcing that he is not making a comeback.

Head to Head Records

South Africa dominates head-to-head records against West Indies in test cricket. In test cricket, South Africa has won 18 times against West Indies. The Caribbean team has won only 3 tests against Proteas. Looking at both teams, the West Indian batting lineup might face problems while facing South African pacers.

For South Africa, Temba Bavuma will have the responsibility to lead the South African batting lineup. He is one of the most experienced batsmen in the team. The two teams played a test against each other last time in 2015. South Africa won that contest by 8 wickets. South Africa is the favorite going into this contest. They are looking strong on paper.

Talking about T20 cricket, West Indies has a strong lineup. Overall, South Africa has won 6 out of 10 matches against West Indies in T20 cricket. Although, they have dominated this matchup things can turn around this time. Big power hitters in the Caribbean team give them a slight edge in T20s. Plus they have mastered this format with their brilliant performance. Looking at the team composition of both squads it is going to be an exciting contest.

Key Players

In test cricket, De Cock and Rabada are two key players for Proteas. De Cock is a stroke-making player and can score a pile of runs. As a skipper, he should lead by example in batting. His glovework is also brilliant in the longer format of the game. Rabada is a wicket-taking bowler in test cricket. He has 202 wickets in 45 test matches. These two are key players for both the formats for the South African team.

West Indies have several impact players in their ranks. In such a scenario, Rusell and Pollard should step up and bowl an economic spell. Pollard is a destroyer with the bat in his hand. Also, they have Gayle who can destroy any batting lineup in the world. Pooran is another player who can knock some sixes down the order. In my opinion, Pollard and Rusell are going to be key players for the Caribbean team.
