WI vs SA 1st T20I Dream11 Prediction: After the conclusion of the two-match Test series between host West Indies and visitors South Africa, which was won by the away team, the two sides will lock horns in a three-match T20I series. All three games will be played at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad.
The two teams have a recent history in the shortest format. The West Indies defeated South Africa in their last two bilateral T20I series, but the Proteas emerged victorious over Rovman Powell’s side during their Super Eight encounter in the T20 World Cup 204, which was crucial to the West Indies’ exit before the semi-final.
West Indies vs South Africa 1st T20I team news:
The Proteas have rested a spate of players from the team that reached the T20 World Cup final. Quinton de Kock, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Anrich Nortje, Marco Jansen, and Tabraiz Shamsi are not part of this series. Rassie van der Dussen returns to the T20 setup after missing the T20 World Cup.
The West Indies have retained 11 of the 15 members from their T20 World Cup squad. Andre Russell, Jason Holder, and Alzarri Joseph have been rested from this series.
