The 2021 South Africa tour of West Indies has been a disastrous one for the home side. We had 2 Tests and South Africa ended up winning both comfortably. However, West Indies hasn’t been known to be great in the longest format since a while now. They will come into their own now as we move into the shortest format with the two teams playing a series of 5 T20s, and Windies have won the World T20 twice!
The series will take place between 26 June – 3 July 2021 and all 5 games will be played at the same ground in St George’s, Grenada. Only one previous T20I has taken place at this ground in Jun 2020 and unfortunately, the home team ended up losing to Ireland in that only game.

Stats that matter
- Head to head in last 5 games, Windies leads 3-2.
West Indies
The senior men like Gayle, Russell and Bravo are back but I’d leave Dwayne Bravo out of the side because he bats lower down and is not a complete all-rounder anymore. Chris Gayle on the other hand has wanted to prove himself each team he was picked for the senior side and he see him scoring runs so pick him in your WI vs SA fantasy team today. As for Russell, he’s yet to perform on the international level and we’ll leave him out too.
Someone who has matured over the last 18 months is captain Kieron Pollard who is likely to bat up the order and he’s sure to be in our WI vs SA Dream11 team today while from the bowlers, we think Fidel Edwards who has returned to the national side will be of good use to the team. Fabian Allen is a useful spinner who bats if needed and is also electric in the field, so he’s definitely someone you want to pick today.
South Africa
Faf du Plessis is out with the PSL 2021 concussion injury and Temba Bavuma is leading the side. Heinrich Klaasen has also led the team recently and we think he’s the most capable from the middle order and should be in your My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) WI vs SA fantasy team. They have a world-class pace attack but leading that is Anrich Nortje who can constantly hit 150+ kmph and is among the best in the world right now.

In case you need an all-round option, there’s Andile Phehlukwayo who is sure to bowl out his 4 overs and additionally, he’s someone who can weave the long handle and hit a few big blows with the bat, so should be picked. 400+ runs were scored in the only T20I here which means you want to pick as many batting options as possible and the most consistent in their middle order across formats is Rassie van der Dussen.
