SA vs WI, 2nd T20I Preview

South Africa is hosting the 2nd T20I of the series against West Indies at SuperSport Park in Centurion on 26th March 2023.  Visitors registered a victory in the rain-affected first game, which is why the upcoming game will be important for South Africa if they are eying to save the series. Both teams have power-packed batting lineups, showing their hitting capacity in the series’ first game. It will be interesting to see how both teams’ bowling units perform in the 2nd game to change the dimensions. Likes of Anrich Nortje and Sheldon Cottrell have huge responsibilities from their respective sides to deliver with the ball. Africa’s openers are struggling to score runs, which is a big concern.
