The second Test between South Africa and West Indies will start on March 8th. The game will happen at the Wanderers. On that note, here, we look at the pitch report of The Wanderers Stadium and the weather conditions in Johannesburg for SA vs WI 2023.
South Africa won the first match by 87 runs. It was not the dominant game that many expected from the hosts. In fact, at one point, there was a possibility that West Indies had a good chance to win the encounter. That said, the Proteas would still be the team that will be the favourites to win the game. The brilliant form that Aiden Markam is in will be a big factor in the game.
West Indies will have a chance to improve their game in Tests. The last few years have been disappointing for the nation. However, there is hope that the squad does well with some new talents coming through. They had a good game against Zimbabwe and showed flashes of form against the Proteas. The hope is that they would continue to do well in the coming months.
