The last T20I of the West Indies vs South Africa series will see the Proteas looking to end the series on a high. Their long tour to Caribbean Islands (apart from the reaching World T20 Cup 2024 finals) hasn’t been fruitful. In the five T20Is in the last three months, the T20 finalists never won a game. They would look to avoid another blackwash, after experiencing the same in May this year.
