West Indies vs South Africa TV channels : The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live StreamingΒ : Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. There will be plenty of excitement for the locals and fans of the longer form of cricket in Guyana as Test cricket returns to Providence for the first time since May 2011! And there is plenty to be play for over the five days of this fixture with the Sir Vivian Richards Trophy to be claimed. The series is currently at 0-0 and will complete after this match. Also, both sides are in need of World Test Championship points, a league in which West Indies are currently propping up the table with South Africa only two places above them in seventh. The First Test was an entertaining affair but the pitch remained solid and the batters were able to dominate the final exchanges. However, in this game, we can expect Keshav Maharaj to be extremely dangerous on a spin-friendly surface. West Indies Preview West Indies have had problems scoring consistent runs and that problem was still in evidence in the opening match of the series when they could only post 233 in response to South Africa’s 357. That said, and in spite of losing captain Kraigg Brathwaite for a three-ball duck in the second innings when looking to bat time and save the game, the unit showed admirable talent and reaching 201/5 from 56.2 overs to prevent a South African victory. South Africa Preview South Africa certainly had the better of the First Test in Port of Spain last week but in the end the pitch did not offer quite enough assistance for their bowlers to secure victory. We are not expecting any changes to the team for the tourists and captain Temba Bavuma will once again be demanding big first innings runs on this pitch in Providence. Weather Conditions According to the forecast, it will be a dry five days in Guyana with the temperature peaking at over 30 degrees throughout the Test! Humidity will be high from start to finish and only day two will see much cloud cover. WI vs RSA Pitch Report This will be the first Test Match in Providence for over 13 years so we do not have much recent data to go off regarding five-day cricket at this venue! However, we can expect spin to play a role throughout and the bounce is likely to become inconsistent from day four onwards.

West Indies beat South Africa in first T20I at Sabina Park to draw first blood in three-match contest – India TV

Image Source : CRICKET SOUTH AFRICA Brandon King and Rassie van der Dussen with the series trophy. West Indies registered a 28-run victory over South Africa in the first of the three-match T20I series at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica on Friday (May 24). Stand-in captain Brandon King looked in sensational touch in the T20I series opener after the South African skipper for the series Rassie van der Dussen won the toss and chose to field first. King, who won the Player of the Match, took the depleted South African bowling attack to task and stamped his authority at Sabina Park, hosting its first international game in almost 24 months. King lost his opening partner Johnson Charles on the fourth delivery of the fourth over. However, it didn’t restrain him in any way as he made full use of the powerplay restrictions early on. King’s swashbuckling knock of 79 off 45 balls helped the Windies put the pressure back on the tourists. The West Indian skipper struck six fours and as many boundaries during his knock and batted at an impressive strike rate of 175.55. King’s departure on the last ball of the 11th over helped the Proteas claw their way back into the contest as they didn’t allow any other West Indian batter to break the shackles at any stage of the game. Ottneil Baartman (3/26) and allrounder Andile Phehlukwayo (3/28) exercised plenty of discipline with the ball in hand and kept West Indies limited to 175 for the loss of eight wickets. The chase didn’t quite go South Africa’s way and they were behind the eight ball from the beginning. They lost Quinton de Kock, Ryan Rickleton and Matthew Breetzke in quick succession and were tottering at 35/3 inside the powerplay. Unfazed by the wickets tumbling at the other end, Reeza Hendricks kept playing his strokes and gave King plenty of headaches in the field. Hendricks smashed six fours and as many maximums on his way to 87 off 51 balls and fell on the fourth delivery of the 20th over. Left-arm orthodox bowler Gudakesh Motie was the stand-out bowler for the Men in Maroon as he bagged figures of 3/25. Pacer Matthew Forde also claimed a three-wicket haul and delighted the home crowd.
