The West Indies(WI) are set to face South Africa(SA) in their next match during South Africa’s tour of the West Indies in 2024. This match is scheduled to take place at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Bengaluru, on Saturday, August 24.
In their last encounter during the T20 World Cup 2024, South Africa narrowly defeated the West Indies by 3 wickets (using the DLS method). The West Indies batted first, putting up a total of 135 runs for the loss of 8 wickets, but South Africa successfully chased down the target.
The West Indies have a formidable T20 squad known for their ability to dominate at any moment. Rovman Powell will be leading the team in this series. Johnson Charles is expected to provide a strong start at the top of the order, while Nicholas Pooran and wicketkeeper-batsman Shai Hope will be key players in the middle order. Akeal Hosein and Obed McCoy will play crucial roles in the bowling attack.
Meanwhile, South Africa recently reached the final of the T20 World Cup 2024 but fell short, losing to India by 7 runs. For South Africa, Reeza Hendricks and Aiden Markram will aim to set a solid foundation at the start of the innings, while Tristan Stubbs, an experienced batter, will be expected to contribute in the middle order.

WI vs SA Toss Prediction:
It’s likely that both captains will opt to field first again in this match if they win the toss.
WI vs SA Pitch Report:
During the 2024 T20 World Cup, this ground saw some low-scoring matches, but in the most recent bilateral T20I series, England managed to post a massive 267/3 on this pitch. We’re expecting the pitch for this match to resemble that high-scoring game from December 2023, rather than the low-scoring contests from a few months ago. A par score is likely to be 200 or more.
WI vs SA Weather Report:
The forecast indicates that there will be plenty of cloud cover throughout Friday afternoon in Tarouba, with a constant threat of light showers.
