Prediction
South Africa and West Indies will play three T20i matches after an ODI series that ended in a draw. The Proteas completed more grounded across the 50 over installations, dominating the last coordinate by four wickets and with a plenty of ability following through in the T20 division off the rear of an effective debut SA20, South Africa are very much set to rule against West Indies in this series possibly. As a result, it is well worth betting on the hosts to win this game and take the series lead.
SuperSport Park Cricket Stadium pitch report
The pacers have consistently revered bowling on the Supersport Park in Centurion’s pitch, and they will by and by appreciate it. One of the fastest tracks in the world has a lot of bounce on this wicket. There will be a difficult test for the batters.
In the 2021 Test match between India and South Africa, the pacers took 38 of the 40 wickets. It should be noted that the top ten wicket takers at this venue are all pacers. Because the ball will also swing on this wicket, batters will need to use all of their class to score runs.
The first innings have seen an average score of 329 runs, while the fourth innings have seen an average score of 163 runs. It is evident that the bats of the teams that batted in the fourth inning have struggled here.
Weather Forecast
On Days 3, 4, and 5, weighty downpour is conceivable, which could create successive setbacks and interferences. Day 1 and Day 2’s playing conditions will be pleasant, and there won’t be much chance of rain.
