West Indies vs South Africa Predictions

South Africa destroyed the West Indies in the 1st Test and are expected to do so once again. The visitors were superb and have far too much quality in all aspects for the Windies to handle. My best bet is a South Africa victory in Gros Islet.

West Indies’ Roston Chase scored 63 runs in his last Test innings.
West Indies' Roston Chase was the only batsman to score 50+ runs for the hosts in the last Test.
South Africa have won 7 of their last 9 Test matches against the West Indies.
South Africa’s Aiden Markram has scored 108, 74 & 60 runs in 3 of his last 5 Test innings’.
South Africa’s Quinton de Kock scored 141 runs in his last Test innings.

Head to Head

South Africa have won 19 of their last 29 Test matches against the West Indies. There have been seven draws and only three wins in that time for the West Indies.

In the 1st Test of this series South Africa thrashed the West Indies by an innings and 63 runs in Gros Islet.

West Indies Form

The West Indies came into the series high on confidence but that would have all disappeared by now. They were humiliated in the 1st Test against South Africa in Gros Islet.

Kraigg Brathwaite won the toss and made the error of batting first. The visitors took full advantage, bowling the hosts out for 97 runs. Jason Holder top scored with 20 runs.

South Africa amassed 322 runs in their first innings leaving the Windies with a mountain to climb. The West Indies showed little fight as they were dismissed for 162 runs in the second innings to lose by an innings and 63 runs.

The one positive was Roston Chase who managed to score 62 runs.

West Indies Injuries & Team News

Nkrumah Bonner was hit on the helmet in the 1st Test and had to miss the rest of the match. It is not likely that he will pass a concussion test before the 2nd Test.

Kieran Powell, who replaced Bonner in the second innings will likely open with Kraigg Brathwaite. Shai Hope will bat at three.

South Africa Form

South Africa’s Test form had not been very good but they came good in the 1st Test to beat the West Indies by an innings and 63 runs.

Lungi Ngidi took 5-19 as the visitors bowled their hosts out for 97 runs in the first innings. Aiden Markram continued his fine form with 60 runs while Quinton de Kock ended unbeaten on 141 as South Africa scored 322 runs.

In the second innings it was Kagiso Rabada who produced the goods, taking 5-34 to bowl the West Indies out for 162 runs.

South Africa Injuries & Team News

If Temba Bavuma is not passed fit then South Africa are likely to remain unchanged. If Bavuma is fit then he will take the place of Keegan Peterson.
