WI vs SA, ICC T20 World Cup 2026, Super 8 Winner Prediction

Match Winner: South Africa.

Both teams played 26 times in the T20I format. While the West Indies won 14 times, South Africa secured 12 victories. On that note, we can expect a thrilling affair between these two sides. However, with South Africa already spending a lot of time in Ahmedabad so far, we can expect them to stun the West Indies with a comfortable margin.
