West Indies vs South Africa 1st Test Live Telecast Channel in India and USA: When and where to watch WI vs SA St Lucia Test?

West Indies vs South Africa 1st Test Live Telecast: The SportsRush presents before you the timing and live streaming details of the first WI vs SA Test.

The first Test of the ongoing South Africa’s tour of West Indies is all set to commence from today at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, St Lucia.

Having last hosted a Test against England in February 2019, the venue will be hosting South Africa for the first time in this format. Out of the seven Tests which the hosts have played in St Lucia, they have won just one and lost two over the years.

Likely to witness a few debutant players, this two-match Test series might also unearth some hidden talents from both the teams. It is worth mentioning that the series will be played under two inexperienced captains in Kraigg Brathwaite (West Indies) and Dean Elgar (South Africa).

As has been the case during international cricket in West Indies and New Zealand in the last year or so, South Africa’s tour of West Indies 2021 isn’t available on television channels in India.

Having said that, streaming platform Fan Code will be streaming the whole tour at a nominal price. Unlike the Vitality T20 Blast 2021, fans have the option of buying a pass only for the first match.

Fans, who wish to buy a pass only for the first Test, will have to pay INR 15 on the website or mobile application of FanCode. On the contrary, fans who are interested in the whole tour comprising of two Tests and five T20Is will have to play INR 49 (after a 53% discount).
