WI vs SA 1st T20 Match Prediction: The first match of the West Indies and South Africa series is going to be played at Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad.
Team Preview of WI vs SA 1st T20 Match Prediction 2024
West Indies and South Africa are once again going to face off each other in the T20I format as they did before the World Cup, in which West Indies won the series by 3-0, but in the last match, they clashed head to head in T20I World Cup Super Eight Match in which South Africa won by three wickets.
West Indies will be looking to settle their team as they failed to win the T20 World Cup even after having a great group stage performance, but they are known for their T20 playing style, which is why they are best in it. However, two main players, Andre Russel and Jason Holder, rested in the series.
South Africa is going to look forward as they lost the final of the T20 World Cup against India when the last time they stepped onto the pitch, and they will be without some of their main players Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi, and David Miller who were in the T20 World Cup squad are going to miss.
South Africa will be looking to find their one opening slot player alongside Reeza Hendricks and also the main Wicketkeeper after de Kock retired from the international cricket. We might see many new faces on the South African side, including Jason Smith and Kwena Maphaka.
We’re excited to have Jason [Smith] and Kwena [Maphaka] join the squad for this series. Jason’s recent performances have been impressive, and his ability to contribute with both bat and ball adds valuable depth to our line-up.
“Kwena has been identified as a player with significant potential, and this tour presents a great opportunity to include him in the Proteas environment and gain valuable international experience.”
Rob Walter White-ball Coach of South Africa

Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad’s pitch is a good run-scoring pitch, but then there are two or three stripes on the ground, and few of them are quite slow, which is why the average 1st is so low. In the last match between Afghanistan and South Africa, it was seen that the pitch helped the bowlers too much.
Important players for the West Indies Team in the match against South Africa
1. Nicholas Pooran has great form in the T20i format, as in his last seven matches, he scored 228 runs with an average of 38. You can drop him in the grand league because he has no good record against West Indies in the T20I.
2. Gudakesh Motie had a great last series against South Africa as he took eight wickets in three matches, which made him the player of the series and will be crucial in the next match too.
3. Obed McCoy has taken 14 wickets in 9 matches against the South Africa side, and if West Indies are bowling 1st, then you can make him Captain in your dream11 team.
