Hosts West Indies will take on South Africa in the 2nd test match of the two matches series. West Indies would want to level the series.

South Africa earned an easy win in the first test, and they would want to seal the series. The pace trio of Rabada, Ngidi, and Nortje bowled well in the last game, whereas Kock proved his class with the bat. West Indians were poor in the last game, and they would want to level the series.
