South Africa will look to wrap up the three-match T20I series when they take on West Indies in the second T20I at SuperSport Park, Centurion, today. South African skipper Aiden Markram won the toss and invited West Indies to bat first.
South Africa rested SA20 winners Quinton de Kock, Tristan Stubbs, Marco Jansen, Anrich Nortje, and Lungi Ngidi for the opening match but is expected to have them back for the remainder of the series. While all could feature, Stubbs may miss out, especially since Jason Smith, originally named in the T20 World Cup squad, did not get a chance to bat in Paarl. Given the seamer-friendly conditions, South Africa may opt to play just one spinner.
Shai Hope missed the first match due to a minor injury, and there was no place for Shamar Joseph in the squad. If fit, both are likely to return to the playing XI for this match.
With regular captain Shai Hope possibly returning, the West Indies will need to raise their performance to challenge a strong South African side in this crucial match.
