Aiden Markram To Drop 'This' Player For Tabraiz Shamsi? SA Probable XI Vs WI

Tabraiz Shamsi got four wickets vs Nepal in the T20 World Cup 2024 [X]

South Africa are scheduled to play West Indies in the 50th match of the T20 World Cup 2024. This match will be played at the Sir Vivan Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, on June 24 at 6:00 AM IST.

South Africa is in a position of fix even after winning all their six matches so far in the tournament. If England win their game against the USA, then South Africa will have to defeat West Indies to find a way into the semis.

The wicket at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium has been competitive. The batters have been able to score runs on this wicket, especially against the new ball. But as the ball has gotten old and soft, the spinners and the pacers, who hit the surface, have reaped the benefits of the surface.

On such a track, the South African management might look to make a tactical change. They can go ahead and rest the medium pacer, Ottnie Baartman and play the left-arm wrist spinner, Tabraiz Shamsi, in his place. The West Indian batters are not great players of wrist spin, and thus, besides the nature of the wicket, this looks like a good tactical move.
