South Africa are all set to host West Indies in a two-match Test series, starting from Tuesday (February 28) at the iconic SuperSport Park in Centurion. It is the final series for both teams in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. Notably, both the Proteas and the Caribbeans have been eliminated from the race to the WTC final.
South Africa, who were in the top two of the WTC standings for a while, have not claimed a single win in their last five Tests. As a result, the team management dropped Dean Elgar from captaincy and handed over the leadership role to Temba Bavuma.
On the other hand, West Indies have won two of their last five Test matches. They are coming to the Rainbow Nation after 1-0 series win over hosts Zimbabwe and will be looking forward to record another victory.
