This article will talk about the probable XIs for both teams and continue with the Dream11 predictions and the winning fantasy team for the 2nd T20I between West Indies and South Africa that is scheduled to take place on the 27th of June 2021.
West Indies have started their long T20I cricket summer with a five-match T20I series against South Africa. In the first T20I match, the home side won the match convincingly as the South African bowling attack was completely outplayed by West Indian batsmen. Even Lewis scored 71 runs and Chris Gayle made an unbeaten 32 as West Indies won the match by 8 wickets.
On the other hand, South Africa put up a total of just 160 against this heavy-weight batting lineup of the West Indies. De Kock made 37 and Dussen scored unbeaten 56 runs for the Proteas. But Pacers let South Africa down as Rabada and Nortje leaked runs at a very high rate. In this second match, South Africa will aim to make a comeback, and West Indies will look to continue their good run in this series.

Probable Playing XIs
South Africa opened with Reeza Hendricks in the first T20I match ahead of Aiden Markram and Janeman Malan. Quinton De Kock and Van der Dussen looked in good touch in the first match. Temba Bavuma and David Miller will aim to score big in this second T20I match. South Africa’s bowling unit was completely outplayed in the last match so they will look to bounce back in this match.
West Indies will look to play with the same playing XI in this second T20I match. It was a complete performance in all three departments from the home side. Bowlers restricted visitors on the manageable score and then openers provided a decent start. In the end, Gayle and Russell finished the run chase with ease.

West Indies: Even Lewis, Andre Fletcher, Chris Gayle, Nicholas Pooran(wk), Kieron Pollard(c), Andre Russell, Jason Holder, Dwayne Bravo, Fabian Allen, Obed McCoy, Kevin Sinclair
South Africa: Quinton De Kock(wk), Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma(c), Rassie Van der Dussen, David Miller, Heinrich Klassen, George Linde, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje.
Match Prediction
West Indies looked a completely dominant side in the first T20I match as they will start as favorites in this second T20I match of the series. However, South Africa will also look to bounce back in this match.

Miller will look to score big in this match.
All-Rounders: Andre Russell and Fabian Allen will be must-pick options from the all-rounder section. Both the players bowled well in the first T20I match and Russell also finished the match with his bat.
Wicket-Keepers: Quinton De Kock and Andre Fletcher will be the must-pick options from the wicket-keeping section. Both will open for their respective teams and provide a good start in this powerplay.

Captaincy Choices
Fantasy Team: Quinton De Kock(c), Andre
Captain – Quinton De Kock
Quinton De Kock looked in good form in the first T20I match so he will be the best option for the captaincy in this match. He will also provide the points with his wicket-keeping.
Vice-Captain – Andre Russell
Andrew Russell will provide points with both bat and ball, so he will be a good pick for the vice-captain.
