Match Analysis : 
South Africa will start off their West Indies tour with the Test series. Both the teams would like to start the bilateral series on a winning note. West Indies will be the favourites as they play in their home ground. But, it’s a completely different story when it comes to Test stats against South Africa.
West Indies recently played Sri Lanka in two-game Test series and despite both games ending in a draw, the Caribbean side put on some decent performances and will look to continue their run. Meanwhile, South Africa are coming off a poor series at home against Pakistan, where they were clean swept by the Asian side in all three formats and will be aiming to bounce back.
Both are teams in transition albeit from different directions. South Africa enter this series from as low a spot on the ICC rankings as they have ever been at No. 7, and West Indies, from a position of progress. They sit at No.6. From their mid-table places, they both maintain they are eyeing the top spot and this is step one.

Pitch Report
As per visiting new captain Elgar conditions would be slow and low but the visitors quickly revised that opinion on arrival. The Dukes ball and recent conditions favoring quick’s convinced him that there may be much more in it for his pace pack than was initially thought. The weather is set to stay warm throughout the match with some rain predicted for Monday.

South Africa : Dean Elgar(c), Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen, Quinton de Kock(w), Temba Bavuma, Wiaan Mulder, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Sarel Erwee, Keegan Petersen, Prenelan Subrayen, Lizaad Williams, Beuran Hendricks, George Linde, Kyle Verreynne, Marco Jansen
