WI vs RSA Match Prediction & Analysis West Indies and South Africa get ready to go against each other in the second T20I. A short turnaround after the first T20I means both teams don’t have much of a window for recovery, but the men in Maroon won’t mind it one bit. They’d be hoping to carry over their attacking game plan from the first game into the second, and put the World Cup runners-up Proteas under the pump. A win in the second lets the Windies take a 2-0 unassailable lead in the three match T20 series. But the visitors, having taken the test match series 1-0, would be disappointed to have started the T20 leg on a losing note. And they’ll come fully prepared to give the hosts a tough challenge and won’t go down without a fight. West Indies have dominated South Africa in the Caribbean, and the Proteas will be looking at the last two T20s as an opportunity to seize back the initiative and prove that they’re a force to be reckoned with in the T20 format. TEAMS PREVIEW West Indies Preview West Indies continued their dominance over South Africa at home with a brilliant win in the first T20I. 22 year old pacer Matthew Forde (3 for 27 off his 4 overs) and former captain Nicholas Pooran ( a swashbuckling 65 off 26 not out) were the stars for the Windies with bat and ball. South Africa Preview South Africa, after rolling through to the finals of the T20 world cup unbeaten a couple of months ago, slipped to their second straight defeat. The new look Proteas side featuring the likes of Ryan Rickleton, Donovan Ferreira, Patrick Kruger, Bjorn Fortuin and 18-year old Kwena Maphaka were no match for the West Indies in imperious form. Weather Conditions The Tarouba wicket showed some signs of life after a number of dull, insipid matches where ball dominated bat completely. Before the first T20I, no team could post over 150 here this year, irrespective of where they batted first or second. But the run aggregate touched 350 at this venue after a long while, and that’s great news for batters. Bowlers can still find a way to extract the slowness of the wicket and tame the batters, but they need to be disciplined and should not try too much. There were some doubts around the first T20 happening, but Weather gods were kind enough to allows us a complete game of cricket. The weather is expected to play hide and seek again, with some morning showers forecast for Sunday. WI vs RSA Pitch Report The Brian Lara cricket stadium in Tarouba will play host to the second fixture, too. West Indies have won 4 out of 6 matches here, and would be looking to add to their winning tally with another strong performance.
