The second T20I of the West Indies vs South Africa series will see the Proteas wanting to make a comeback. The series started with the home team winning the first game by seven wickets. With this loss, the World T20 Cup 2024 finalists are on the verge of losing back-to-back T20I series against the Caribbean side. They were clean swept by the two-time World T20 Cup winners before the ninth edition of the tournament in May this year.
