WI vs SA 2nd T20I Approaching Milestones: West Indies delivered a dominating performance in the first of the three-match T20I series. They outplayed South Africa and registered a win by 7 wickets. This helped the hosts take a 1-0 lead, and now they need just one win to win the series. The West Indies Cricket Team will take on South Africa Cricket Team on Sunday in the second game at Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad.

Both teams have had a decent game, but West Indies were too good for South Africa. Nicholas Pooran had a brilliant game, and he will look to carry on that in this match as well. Aiden Markram and his men need something special because they don't have a strong batting lineup. Notably, there are some amazing records which are on the line ahead of the second WI vs SA T20Is, about which we will talk here.
