Analysis
West Indies go into the 5-match T20 series against South Africa having suffered a defeat in the Tests. However, they won their last T20I series against Sri Lanka 2-1 earlier this year, which will give a confidence boost to them. With T20 specialists like Andre Russell, Kieron Pollard, Chris Gayle amongst others, West Indies looks strong on paper and will aim to win this series at home.
On the other hand, Temba Bavuma-led South Africa faced a humiliating loss against Pakistan, losing 3-1 earlier this year. However their side too is full of T20 specialists just like their opponents with the likes of Kagiso Rabada, Quinton De Kock amongst others who have been in great form off late. With that being said, it’ll be exciting to see if the visitors can outplay the West Indies in the 5-match series.
