WI vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis
We are in the 1st Test Match of the two-match Test Series, where hosts West Indies would look to restore pride and confidence as they take on South Africa. West Indies suffered a drubbing in England last month, and the side received a lot of criticism. The South Africans play this format after a 6-month break, and the team will look to strike form.
The South Africans have dominated the West Indies in recent years. They have won the last five games between the two teams and shall look to extend this lead. The visitors have a strong pace attack, which makes them strong. West Indies have struggled with this format, and their players lack experience. The odds are stacked against them and seeing if they can win will be interesting.
West Indies Preview
Kraigg Brathwaite’s team suffered a humiliating 0-3 loss against England last month. The side failed to put a fight in any of the games and needs to put that series loss behind. The South Africans will come hard at them in this game, and Brathwaite expects his batsmen to show more character and end their losing spree in Test cricket.
South Africa Preview
Temba Bavuma’s side will look to make a good start in the two-match series. The side returns to this format after 6 months and shall look to get over the 0-2 whitewash they suffered in New Zealand when a second-string team was fielded. In this format, they enjoy a good record against West Indies, and Bavuma would look for an early lead.Β Β
Weather Conditions
We would see overcast skies over Port of Spain, and the game may see regular rain interruptions. The batting conditions will be challenging, especially during the last two days. The average first innings score here is 304 runs, and the team batting first will be happy to have 400 runs on the board.
