After the ODI series between South Africa and West Indies was tied 1-1, the action now shifts to the T20I series.
Both the teams have named strong and potent sides and would be looking to get the T20I series in their name.
In the final ODI, Heinrich Klaasen smashed a fabulous century and helped the Proteas level the series.
The T20I series promises to ooze excitement and high-voltage action.
Shai Hope and Heinrich Klaasen bagged the player of the series award for their batting exploits.
While Hope scored 144 runs in 2 games, Klaasen played just 1 game and scored 119 runs and therefore they laid their hands on the player of the series award.
Alzarri Joseph of West Indies bagged 6 wickets in the ODI series and ended up being the highest wicket-taker in the series.
He had a good average of 17.17 and will be one of the key players to watch out for in this series.
On the other hand, Gerald Coetzee scalped 5 wickets in 2 overs and finished in the 2nd position along side Akeal Hosein. Hosein too picked up 5 wickets in the tournament.
West Indies have often been considered as the powerhouses in T20I cricket and they would be hoping to live up to their name.
On the other hand, South Africa would be hoping to take advantage of the home conditions and win this series.
Batter Rilee Rossouw has 2 T20I hundreds in the last 5 T20Is and he is in red-hot and blistering form.
He will be hoping to wreak havoc on the West Indian pacers in this series.
