Match Preview
South Africa and West Indies are going to face each other for a three-match T20I series starting tomorrow.
Moreover, the first game of the series is going to be hosted by SuperSport Park Cricket Stadium in Centurion.
In the recently-concluded ODI series, the series was tied at 1-1 after South Africa put up a great show in the 3rd ODI.
Thus, both these teams will now look to get a proper win in the T20I series as this tour has been a mixed bag so far.
Furthermore, both these teams last played a T20I game in the T20 World Cup last year. This makes this series all the more exciting.
Therefore, we have a great game on our hands at Centurion tomorrow between these two evenly-matched T20I teams.
