Fans can tune into SA vs WI live on Ten Sports at 12:00 AM PST or 7 PM IST.
Conclusion
An epic game of cricket can be expected from these SA vs WI live matches owing to the inclusion of few star players in both teams. These include Quinton de Kock, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi, Shamar Joseph, and Akeal Hosein. All eyes are on de Kock and Nortje and their expected performances due to their questionable forms in IPL 2024. The Proteas have managed to put together a stable and competitive team with numerous fast bowling options as well as a relatively experienced top and middle order.
The West Indian team is comparatively inexperienced and this might prove to be costly to them in future. This is due to unavailability of senior players like Rovman Powell due to the ongoing IPL 2024 tournament. However, an abundance of young talent and accompanying enthusiasm and aim might favor the Caribbean team by boosting their confidence.
