The T20 World Cup is just a week away, and the final preparations for the tournament are set to begin. The West Indies, who are hosting the event, are set to take on South Africa in a six-match T20 series, with the first three matches set to be played ahead of the huge ICC event.

West Indies (WI) are without some big name stars who are either playing in the IPL or have been rested. The home team will be one of the most watched sides in the T20 World Cup and the current series, considering their plethora of talent.

South Africa (SA) will be led by Rassie Van Der Dussen, who wants his team to get in prime form. The South Africans, like the hosts, are missing a few of their players due to their participation in the IPL.

Player Picks

C

Brandon King WI | BAT

The 29-year-old has been in good run scoring form in the last few months. Brandon King will be leading the side and hope to showcase his skills in the T20 format as a captain and batter.

6
C

Gerald Coetzee SA | BOWL

The young seamer has been in impressive form with his pace bowling skills during the IPL 2024 for Mumbai Indians. Gerald Coetzee has the ability to bowl quick and also surprise batters with bounce and also has a lethal slower ball.

7

Johnson Charles WI | WK

Big hitting batter Johnson Charles has been in punishing form with the bat in the T20 format which includes a century against Nepal A side. The veteran batter will hope to play a key role during the recent series against South Africa.

9

Matthew Breetzke SA | WK

Young Breetzke has been touted as one of the best young talents from South Africa. His form during the recent SA 20 and local T20 format will hold the visitors in good stead.

8.5

Jason Holder WI | ALL

The former West Indian skipper has been in the middle of good run scoring form but that is in the red-ball format. Jason Holder will want to do the same thing for his national side in the T20 format.

8.5

Quinton de Kock SA | WK

After starting IPL 2024 on a high, Quinton De Kock seemed to lose his form towards the end of the season. Quinton De Kock has all the talent and class to make sure that he gets back to prime run-scoring run form.

8

Romario Shepherd

WI | ALL

West Indian All-rounder Romario Shepherd did not enjoy a fruitful season in IPL 2024 with the Mumbai Indians. This would have massively dented his confidence ahead of the huge international season.

8

Tabraiz Shamsi

SA | BOWL

3 wickets from 5 matches by Tabraiz Shamsi doesn't make a great reading for a bowler of the class that the left-arm wrist spinner. South Africa would pin their hopes on Shamsi to find his form ahead of the T20 World Cup.
