West Indies Cricket Team vs South Africa National Cricket Team Timeline: T20I
The West Indies Cricket Team vs South Africa National Cricket Team Timeline: T20I started on 11th September 2007 at Wanderers Stadium. There are many key moments during these memorable matches few of them are:
Chris Gayle in ICC T20 World Cup 2015- Chris Gale played an explosive inning of scoring magnificent innings with just 41 balls, knocking out the West Indies from danger. His stunning innings, peppered with 7 sixes, really propelled the West Indies in their pursuit.
AB de Villiers gave one of the best performances in the 2016 ICC T20 World Cup. He made 117 from sixty balls, displayed power-hitting, and occasionally reveled in the power-hitting; but his innings were not quite enough to help West Indies sail through.
Lungi Ngidi took a hat-trick at the same venue during the 2020 T20I series between South Africa and West Indies. The 32-year-old’s remarkable bowling effort came as a silver lining and proved his worth in the T20 format.
Carlos Brathwaite hits four back-to-back sixes in the last over against heated South Africa’s bowler Dale Steyn to win the 2016 ICC T20 World Cup Final. That ability to finish won West Indies this game and put him on the T20I list.
Along with Pollard, it was a day to remember for West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard. The fact that he can turn the game on its head in pressure points — whether by smashing big sixes or claiming pivotal wickets — was one of the hallmarks of this series.
The 2019 T20I series also had Faf du Plessis’ captaincy and strategic decisions stand out. He made a massive contribution to the series with his captaincy and on-field performance.
Ravi Rampaul (v South Africa, 2014 T20I series) His stellar display with the ball was one of the few positives to take out from this match, demonstrating his ability to stand up when it matters.
