Following a hard-fought ODI series, which was tied 1-1, South Africa and West Indies will clash in a three-match T20 I series. This will be the first match as captain for South Africa’s Aiden Markram while Rovman Powell has been given the leadership duties of West Indies.
Both teams have a full-strength squad at disposal and the match is all set to be a cracking affair. However, given South Africa’s record at home and a slightly better bowling attack, the hosts will start as favourites.
The pitch should be a good one for batters. The boundaries are also not big and given the hitting abilities of players, a high-scoring game will be on the cards.
The weather will be cloudy with 20 per cent chances of rain. The temperature will range between 22 and 16 degrees.

Klassen will be over the moon after the match-winning performance in the final ODI. The keeper-batter scored 119 to help South Africa chase down a stiff target.
Kyle Mayers is a good player to have in the team. The dynamic batter is destructive at the top and often gives a blazing start to the team. He also opens the bowling for South Africa thus adding a lot of balance to the team.
Rossouw will be eyeing to furnish his skills before the IPL 2023. Rilee will be playing for Delhi capitals this season under the leadership of David Warner. The batter comes into the series after a staggering show in the Pakistan Super League 2023.
Veteran Kagiso Rabada will be back leading the Proteas attack. Rabada is brilliant with the new ball and equally brilliant with the old one. He will be a tough nut to crack for the Windies batters.
Tabraiz Shamsi can rule the roost in the first T20I. He is a brilliant spinner and has multiple variations which makes him very difficult to score off and survive,
