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.
