WI vs SA 2024, 2nd Test: Match Prediction, Dream11 Team, Fantasy Tips & Pitch Report | West Indies vs South Africa

The West Indies and South Africa will square off in the decisive second Test, starting August 15 at Providence Stadium in Guyana.

The first Test in Trinidad ended in a draw, the only stalemate in Test cricket this year. The match was largely affected by rain and a slow pitch that yielded little for bowlers. The winner of the upcoming game will seal the series.

South Africa’s tour of West Indies, 2nd Test:

• Start date and time: Aug 15, 7:30 pm (IST)/ 2:00 pm (GMT)/ 10:00 am (local)
• Venue: Providence Stadium, Guyana

Providence Stadium Pitch Report

The Providence Stadium in Guyana is set to host its first Test match since 2011. Known for offering a challenging surface for batters, the venue has a history of favouring bowlers. While pace bowlers are expected to find assistance with extra seam and bounce, spinners are also likely to play a crucial role. Both teams will need to adapt quickly to the conditions to come out on top.
