The upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 match between West Indies and South Africa promises to be a thrilling affair. South Africa captain Aiden Markram won the toss and chose to field first against Rovman Powell’s West Indies. The game is being held at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua.
Both teams have made one change from their previous match, with Tabraiz Shamsi coming in for Ottneil Baartman for South Africa and Kyle Mayers replacing Johnson Charles for West Indies. The stakes are high for both sides, as a spot in the semifinals is on the line. England has already secured their place in the semifinals after defeating the United States by 10 wickets. However, South Africa, despite winning all six of their previous matches in the tournament, are in a tricky position and cannot afford to slip up against the hosts. A loss in this match would knock them out of the tournament.
The playing XIs for both teams are as follows: West Indies – Shai Hope, Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran, Roston Chase, Rovman Powell, Sherfane Rutherford, Andre Russell, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Obed McCoy. South Africa – Quinton de Kock, Reeza Hendricks
