West Indies vs South Africa, 1st T20I  Match Preview:

West Indian batting lineup looks very strong on paper. They have a batting depth, and all of them are power hitters. Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard will be the key for them. Lendl Simmons will be the player to watch out for. 

The South African lineup is looking good with Quinton de Kock back in his rhythm. David Miller will be the key player in the middle. 

Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, and Lungi Ngidi are in brilliant form and will be a threat to the opposition throughout the series. 

West Indian team in T20Is is in a different league. With them playing at home against South Africa, who is still finding its best combination, there is a good chance West Indies might win this fixture.
