WI vs SA 2nd T20I Dream11 Prediction: After losing the Test series, the host West Indies kicked off the T20I series with a blockbuster win over the Proteas. In the first T20I of the three-match series, the West Indies defeated South Africa by seven wickets at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, courtesy of a whirlwind knock from Nicholas Pooran.
South Africa batted first and posted 174/7 with the help of Tristan Stubbs’ terrific knock of 76 runs off 42 balls. However, none of the other top six Protea batters could cross 20. In reply, the West Indies remained well on track in their chase. Initially, they got off to a strong start with an 84-run opening stand between Alick Athanaze and Shai Hope, before Pooran blasted 65* runs in only 26 balls, slamming 7 sixes in his entertaining innings, to seal the chase in 17.5 overs.
The second T20I will be played at the same ground on Sunday. The West Indies would be looking to seal the series, while for South Africa, a win is a must to keep the series alive.
