After a grueling Test and ODI series, South Africa and West Indies are gearing up to face each other in a three-match T20 series. The Proteas emerged victorious in the Test series, while the ODI series was a draw. Now, both teams are looking to clinch the T20 series, which is set begin on March 25 in Centurion.

South Africa is currently ranked 4th in the ICC men’s T20 team rankings, while West Indies is ranked 7th. However, the Windies are a 2-time T20 World Cup champions and it would be a mistake to count them out.

On the other hand, South Africa will be looking to take advantage of their home conditions and secure a series win. The team has some talented players in their T20 squad, including batter Rilee Rossouw, who has scored two T20I hundreds in the last five matches and is currently in red-hot form.
