West Indies vs South Africa 2021

The South African cricket team, after losing 2-0 in their last Test series and 3-1 in the recently held T20Is at home, will now travel to the Caribbean Islands for a couple of Tests and 5 T20Is against the Men in Maroon.

The West Indian side will be eager to play yet another bilateral series after drawing the two-Test series against Sri Lanka after beating 2-1 in the T20Is and 3-0 in the ODIs.

History

The first-ever West Indies vs South Africa Test match was played in 1992. That was one of just three losses that the South African team suffered against the Caribbean men. In 28 Test matches between the two teams, the Proteas have gone on to win 18 and lose just three as the remaining seven matches ended in a draw.

The competition is a bit more equal when it comes to the shortest format of the game with the Men in Green winning six and losing four out of the 10 games played in the 10 T20Is since 2007.

Format

The WI vs SA series will begin with the two Tests at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia from 10 June to 14 June and 18 June to 22 June. The second Test coincides with the World Test Championship Final between India and New Zealand.

The T20I series will begin on 26 June and will go till 3 July. All the five games will be played at the National Cricket Stadium in St George's, Grenada. The second, third and fourth T20Is will be played on 27 June, 29 June and 1 July.
