With the series of cricket matches, the old rivalry between West Indies and South Africa will heat up again in the Caribbean. The rivalry has been built in the recently concluded ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in which South Africa defeated West Indies in the knockout stage of the Super 8 format.
After getting defeated by South Africa, the West Indies lost their chance to win the World Cup and even paved the path to the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup.
Now, the matches will again heat up the old rivalry as the World Cup was held in the Caribbean grounds. So, it will entice the audience and the fans who will come here to support their favourite team as the West Indies will get the chance to take revenge for the World Cup.
South Africa shattered the dreams of the World Cup of West Indies and now the cricket series will again heat it up.
