Match Details

Match: West Indies vs South Africa 1st Test Match South Africa tour of West Indies, 2024

Date: 7th August 2024

Time: 07:30 pm IST and 02:00 pm GMT

Venue: Queen’s Park Oval – Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago

Pitch report

Overcast skies would be visible over Port of Spain, and there would be frequent rain delays during the game. It is going to be difficult to bat, particularly in the final two days. Here, the first-batting team will be pleased with 400 runs on the board, as the average first-inning score is 304 runs.

Weather Report

In recent years, there have been several highly scored contests at Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain. It is easier to bat on this pitch because it has slowed down. Fast bowlers need to bend their backs to perform well when the ball comes onto the bat. The ball gets old and soft as it grips and turns sharply, which is why the spinners love to bowl on this ground.

Squad Comparison for West Indies vs South Africa

West Indies 

Last month, Kraigg Brathwaite’s squad was humiliated by a 0-3 loss against England. The team needs to move past the series loss because they did not compete in any of the games. In this encounter, the South Africans will be tough on them, and Brathwaite anticipates that his batters will rise to the occasion and put an end to their run of consecutive Test cricket defeats.  

The South African pace attack will put them to the test, so Kraigg Brathwaite needs to take the initiative and get off to a strong start with Mikyle Louis. As he develops as a player, Alick Athanaze will try to score more runs in the middle order with Keacy Carty and Kavem Hodge. Joshua Da Silva and Jason Holder will aim to do well in the bottom middle order.  

The bowling attack will have a difficult task because their opponents have skilled batsmen. Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales need to start quickly to put the visitors on the defensive. In the middle overs, Jason Holder and Shamar Joseph must exert pressure on the batsman. The squad is anticipating a strong performance from Gudakesh Motie, who had a terrific tour of England.

West Indies  Playing XI

Kraigg Brathwaite (c), Mikyle Louis, Alick Athanaze, Kavem Hodge, Jason Holder, Joshua Da Silva (wk), Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph, Keacy Carty, Kemar Roach, Jayden Seales

South Africa

The goal for Temba Bavuma’s team is to get off to a strong start in the two-game series. After a break of six months, the squad is back in this format and will be looking to bounce back from a 0-2 loss in New Zealand against a team that was fielded off the bench. They have a strong record against the West Indies in this format, and Bavuma would want for an early lead.  

Tony de Zorzi and Aiden Markram need to take on the new ball and get off to a fast start. The squad anticipates Tristan Stubbs to lead the middle order and establish partnerships with David Bedingham and Temba Bavuma. With strong performances in the lower middle order, Kyle Verreynne and Kagiso Rabada will try to solidify their spots on the squad.  

The South Africans will want early strikes from Kagiso Rabada and Nandre Burger since they have a potent bowling assault. Having Dane Paterson in the midfield will help Lungi Ngidi, who has struggled with his form in recent months. The team expects the lone spinner, Keshav Maharaj, to do well when bowling extended spells.

West Indies vs South Africa Match Prediction

In this format, the West Indies have been erratic. The side has suffered frequent changes as a result of its inability to achieve a stable middle order, despite best attempts. To win, their batters need to perform well and score runs. South Africa’s batting order is more experienced and plays at a faster pace. They have an advantage because of that.
