Background

SA vs WI, T20 LIVE: The T20 World Cup has started on an amazing note after great matches since day 1 of the tournament. South Africa will play the first match of the tournament against the West Indies while the Caribbean team will be playing their second match. 

Windies were beaten comprehensively by England in their first match and they would be looking to stage a comeback. ENG Vs WI match was one of the lowest-scoring T20I matches of all time. West Indies were all-out for just 55 runs.

After the loss, Pollard said, "There's not a lot to explain - it was an unacceptable performance, but we do need to take this on the chin and move on. It's a matter of finding our straps, we have to find a way to get a fighting total on the board," after the loss against England. 

On the other hand, South Africa also did not fare well in their warm-up matches. They lost to Australia in the build-up to the tournament and would be looking to consolidate their position further.
