Pre-Match Analysis:
South Africa are still hasn’t recovered from their loss to Netherlands in the T20 World Cup which forced them to get knocked out of the tournament. Aiden Markram who led Sunrisers Eastern Cape to the title in the inaugural SA T20 League has been named as the permanent T20 skipper for South Africa. They have got proper batters who are tailor-made for the shortest format. Marco Jansen needs to play a dual role for them in this series. Kagiso Rabada who was rested for the ODIs makes his return to the T20 side. Wayne Parnell, Anrich Nortje, and Tabraiz Shamsi will form the bowling line-up.
West Indies are looking to rebuild their side in the shortest format following their disastrous World Cup campaign in Australia last year. Rovman Powell will take charge of the side and Kyle Mayers has been named as his deputy. They haven’t too many changes except for leaving out hard hitter Evin Lewis from the squad. Nicholas Pooran who has given up his captaincy can concentrate more on his batting. They have got enough firepower in the middle and down the order. Kyle Mayers will open alongside either Brandon King or Johnson Charles.
