Temba
Bavuma’s
Test
captaincy
started
with
a
win
as
South
Africa
registered
an
87-run
victory
over
Kraigg
Brathwaite’s
West
Indies,
who
challenged
the
Proteas
in
their
own
backyard.
Opting
to
bat
first,
the
hosts
rode
on
Aiden
Markram
(115)
and
Dean
Elgar
(71)
knocks
before
Alzarri
Joseph‘s
five-wicket
haul
helped
the
visitors
bowl
out
the
opposition
for
342
in
the
first
innings.
In
response
Raymon
Reifer
led
the
Windies
fightback
with
a
knock
of
62,
but
the
South
Africa
pacers
led
by
Anrich
Nortje
(5
for
36)
ended
the
visitors
innings
at
212,
helping
the
hosts
take
a
130-run
lead.
In
the
second
innings,
South
Africa
were
bundled
out
for
116
after
Kemar
Roach
(5
for
47)
ripped
through
the
batting
order,
setting
up
West
Indies
for
a
chase
of
247
in
the
final
innings.
While
Jermaine
Blackwood
played
a
fighting
knock
of
79,
the
rest
of
the
West
Indies
batter
failed
to
put
up
a
fight,
getting
bowled
out
for
159
after
a
fiery
performance
from
Kagiso
Rabada
(6
for
50).
Now,
the
action
shifts
to
Johannesburg,
where
South
Africa
have
beaten
West
Indies
in
their
previous
two
attempts.
However,
the
hosts
will
be
without
the
services
of
their
premier
pace
bowler,
Anrich
Nortje,
who
withdrew
from
the
squad
as
a
precaution.
Apart
from
Nortje,
South
Africa
and
West
Indies
don’t
have
any
other
injuries
to
worry
about.
The
hosts
could
bring
in
Wiaan
Mulder
to
replace
Nortje
and
also
look
at
adding
Keshav
Maharaj
for
Senuran
Muthusamy.
West
Indies,
meanwhile,
may
look
to
add
another
spinner
Gudakesh
Motie,
who
has
been
in
good
form,
in
the
playing
11
to
replace
to
either
Shannon
Gabriel
or
Roston
Chase.

Test
Match
Prediction
Following
the
series
opening
win
and
as
hosts,
South
Africa
start
favourites.
But
the
second
innings
of
the
first
Test
will
be
a
worrying
factor
for
the
hosts
and
something
the
West
Indies
pacers
will
be
aware
of
heading
into
the
second
Test.
If
the
visitors
batters
manage
to
get
a
lead,
then
the
result
could
be
in
favour
of
the
West
Indies.
