The three-match T20I series between South Africa and the West Indies is presently taking place. This is the last encounter between these two sides before they travel to India for the ICC T20 World Cup. Both sides need to win the SA vs. WI series to bolster their confidence before the big championship.
South Africa's victory over the West Indies in the World Cup Super-8 stage eliminated them from the previous home T20 World Cup. After losing a close match to India, South Africa ended as runners-up and eventually qualified for the ICC T20 World Cup final. Each side had lost the previous series going into this one. Afghanistan defeated the West Indies, and India defeated South Africa.

SuperSport Park Pitch Report:
The pitch at Centurion Park has been referred to as a batter's paradise since the ball hits the bat beautifully and bowlers frequently struggle to strike the right spots. It is well known that the batting side is where the outfield plays. Because this surface never slows down, even as the game goes on, captains who win the toss frequently try to chase. This venue would be competitive if the average score were between 180 and 200.
SuperSport Park Weather Forecast:
The temperature and humidity at this location will be ideal for play, according to the weather forecast projections. Rain, however, has the potential to ruin the match and cut it short of the full 40 overs.
