WI vs SA Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Probable Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Updates For 2nd T20I Match

WI vs SA Match Preview

The West Indies and South Africa prepare to face off in the second Twenty20 International. A short turnaround after the initial T20I means both teams won't have much time to recover, but the men in Maroon won't mind. They'd hope to carry over their attacking strategy from the first game into the second, putting the World Cup runners-up Proteas under pressure. A win in the second gives the Windies a 2-0 unassailable lead in the three-match T20 series. However, after winning the test series 1-0, the visitors would be dissatisfied to have lost the first T20 leg. And they'll be fully prepared to challenge the hosts.
