Having played a Test match against each other after as many as eight years last month, South Africa and West Indies will be playing an ODI against each other for the first time since their rain-abandoned ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 match in Southampton.

As far as South Africa-West Indies bilateral ODIs are concerned, even the same will be played after more than eight years considering how their last five ODIs have all come in multi-team tournaments.
The first two of a three-match ODI series will be played at the Buffalo Park on Thursday and Saturday respectively as the venue gears up for hosting ODI cricket following a hiatus lasting for more than half-a-decade.

South Africa, who have won 44 and lost 15 out of their 62 ODIs against West Indies, have won seven out of eight bilateral ODI series against this opposition. West Indies, who had won their inaugural ODI series against South Africa in 1992, haven’t been able to win a series against them in this format in the last three decades.
