South Africa who have a few of their senior players rested for the series just did not turn up with the bat. Reeza Hendricks (87 off 51) was the only one who looked comfortable with the bat. Quinton de Kock scored just four while stand-in skipper Rassie van der Dussen scored 17.

Both teams had a lot of their batters dismissed for single-digit scores. Six Windie batters scored in single-digits while three South African batters. Four of their batters were dismissed for ducks in the chase.

The WI vs SA 2nd T20I will be played on Sunday, May 26 from 12.30 am IST which is 2 pm local time. West Indies won the first T20I by 28 runs. The last two games are must-win for South Africa if they are to win the series.

WI vs SA Team Analysis

West Indies

Despite the senior players not being a part of the side, the other players stepped up in the first game. West Indies are without the likes of Rovman Powell, Andre Russell, Shimron Hetmyer, and Nicholas Pooran in this series. Their bowlers stepped up to the plate in the first T20I and will look to replicate their form in the second T20I.

South Africa

South Africa too is missing their regular players. Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, and Marco Jansen are busy playing in the IPL. Rassie Van der Dussen leads the side but could not step up with the bat. Reeza Hendricks was the only batter who looked in touch in the last game.

South Africa have also rested the likes of David Miller, Kagiso Rabada, Arnrich Nortje, and Keshav Maharaj to keep them fresh for the World Cup.

WI vs SA Key Factors

Pitch Conditions

Jamaica has hosted seven T20Is. The first T20I saw West Indies score 175 batting first which was more than enough for the visitors. The Windies bowlers extracted the conditions well from the wickets and reaped the rewards of the low and slow conditions. A score of around 160-170 is expected to be a competitive total.

Form and Fitness

Key players from both teams are missing from the respective squads from this series. A few of them are still busy playing in the IPL and will be playing in the IPL 2024 final on Sunday. South Africa are missing the likes of Aiden Markram, David Miller, and the two pacers Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje. West Indies are missing Andre Russell, Roman Powell, Shimron Hetmyer, and Nicholas Pooran.

Tactical Acumen

Both the captains are fairly inexperienced. Hence what kind of tactical methods they apply will be an interesting observation. For now, Brandon King has won the first T20I and made the right moves as captain.

Pat Cummins had a fabulous stint as captain in 2023. He retained Ashes and won the WTC final and the World Cup. Now he is setting his sights on winning the IPL and adding another feather to his cap.

Winning the WTC final and the World Cup final against India were his two biggest achievements in his brief leadership career. Now he is on the verge of winning an IPL title.

SRH will take on KKR in the IPL 2024 final on Sunday. Pat Cummins was roped in at 20.5 crores by the franchise and he has not let his franchise down. He took the responsibility of captaincy with utmost seriousness and now the team under him has reached the IPL final.

SRH lost to KKR in Qualifier 1. However, he regrouped the team well and backed them to deliver in the Qualifier 2 against Rajasthan Royals. SRH posted a good score of 175/9 batting first. It was Cummins who gave his team the first breakthrough while defending the target, dismissing Tom Kohler-Cadmore for 10.

His next big move was to bowl Abhishek Sharma and Shahbaz Ahmed in tandem which yielded his team five wickets and broke the back of the run chase from Rajasthan Royals. Heading into the IPL 2024 final. Pat Cummins spoke to Sports Tak and recalled the muted reception he got at the airport after returning back Australia post the World Cup win.

That's Australia For You: Pat Cummins On His Muted Reception After World Cup Win

Cummins said that the public was not as vocal as the Indian public would have been had they won the World Cup but the players were greeted enthusiastically by their fellow countrymen wherever they went.

“That's Australia for you. It's great, it's peaceful!” Cummins said as he laughed, talking about the reception in an interview with SportsTak.

"It's a little bit different because everyone flies off to different states. We didn't have one big celebration back in Australia, but I can tell you that everyone was buzzing. Every time we went out on the streets over the next couple of weeks, everyone was absolutely buzzing about the World Cup final, as were we as players. It might not be streets lined up like you would've got here if India won, but people there were pretty happy," he further added.

The Australian skipper is now eyeing to win the IPL with Sunrisers Hyderabad. He will be the second Australian captain to win the IPL title with SRH if that happens after David Warner in 2016. SRH beat RCB to win the title in 2016. Kane Williamson led SRH to their second IPL final in 2018 but lost to CSK at the Chepauk. This is the third IPL final for SRH and the fourth for KKR.

"The boys have been fantastic all season. There's a great vibe in the squad as you can see and the final was the goal at the start of the season and we made it. We knew our strength was our batting and we wouldn't underestimate the experience we have in this squad, it's a dream having Bhuvi, Nattu and Unadkat, makes my job easy," said Cummins after beating SRH in Qualifier 2.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (Credits Twitter)

Sunrisers Hyderabad are set to square off with Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024 final. The KKR vs SRH, IPL 2024 final takes place at Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday, May 26. Pat Cummins leads SRH in IPL 2024.

The Australia skipper Cummins has already bagged a lot of credits in India when Australia outplayed Team India in the World Cup final. He also earned accolades when Australia won the ICC WTC Final 2023 against India.

Now, he can win the hearts of IPL fans once again by grabbing the IPL trophy. SRH might not change their previous playing 11 when they outplayed Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 to book a berth in the final. Below is SRH's predicted playing 11 for the match.

Travis Head

Travis Head might open the innings in the next game too as he is among the most successful batters for his team. The left-handed batsman has struggled to smash big knocks in the last two games but he can twist the match at any point.

Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma will be the other opener for the side as Sunrisers Hyderabad will not change their opening duo at any cost. Hence, Sharma-Head will lead the batting attack for the side.

Rahul Tripathi

Rahul Tripathi should bat at a one-down position as he is a reliable batter for the side. He slammed 37 runs off 15 balls in the last game.

Nitish Reddy

Nitish Reddy has been a wonderful performer for the side for the last few games. He will be another member in the middle-order as Sunrisers Hyderabad cannot risk benching him.

Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram is an experienced batter for the side who has spent a lot of time with the team. He is among the best middle-order batters for South Africa and should be added to the field.

Also Read: Watch - Dhruv Jurel cops a nasty blow on his throat as T Natarajan attacks batter

Heinrich Klaasen (WK)

Heinrich Klaasen should be the wicketkeeper for the team in the next match. Klaasen slammed a marvellous fifty in the previous game when the team was desperate for runs. Moreover, he is the best wicketkeeper for the side.

Abdul Samad

Abdul Samad has been an awesome lower-order batter for the side and he should be kept at the bottom of batting. He got out for a duck in the last game but will make a comeback in the next.

Pat Cummins (C)

Pat Cummins is the captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024 and will lead the side in the next match. Cummins picked 1 wicket in the last game and bowled at a decent economy of 7.50.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been a wonderful bowler for SRH throughout the season. He leaked just 33 runs in the last game at an economy of 11.0. He is a marvelous bowler in the death over.

Jaydev Unadkat

Jaydev Unadkat was part of the last game and he gave just 5 runs in his only over. He gives more variation to the pace of attack being a left-arm seamer.

T Natarajan

T Natarajan is the leading wicket-taker for the side and will lead the team in the next game. Natarajan gave away just 13 runs in his 3 overs in the last match at an economy of 4.3, giving away just 13 runs in his 3 overs.

Arun Dhumal and Jay Shah (Credits: X)

Indian Premier League chairman Arun Dhumal has shed light on the widely talked about topic of the Impact Player rule hampering the role of the all-rounders.

The Impact Player rule was introduced in IPL 2023 with the aim of making the game even more exciting and much more open for the players. It allowed teams to utilize an extra player which has at times worked for certain teams and it hasn't worked out quite well for other teams. Last season many of us thought that the rule had life to it.

However, by the second season of the rule's implementation, important names started to voice their opinion against the Impact Player substitution. Indian captain Rohit Sharma had made it very clear that he is not a fan of the rule while Virat Kohli was also vocal about his thought. Amid all the comments against the rule, Arun Dhumal spoke in depth about BCCI's plan with it.

Arun Dhumal asks if IPL is the only avenue for the development of All-rounders

While speaking exclusively to Revsportz on the eve of the IPL 2024 finale, Arun Dhumal lashed out on the questions against the Impact Player Rule. On the subject of the Impact Player rule restricting the role of All-rounders in the T20 game, Dhumal had a no-nonsense claim that might be the best answer he could have given.

Arun Dhumal asked if IPL is the only avenue or if it is solely the tournament's responsibility to develop the all-rounders. He reminded everyone that the BCCI conducts 2,000+ tournaments in a year where players from all age groups from U-15 to U-19 get the chance to nourish their all-round skills.

Domestic tournaments like the Vijay Hazare trophy and the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy are meant for the development of all departmental players. And if any player really wants to break out as an all-rounder, then he must have his benchmark very high to be a part of the team.

"Is the responsibility of developing all-rounders (lies) only on this tournament. The BCCI is conducting more than 2,000 cricket matches in a year, where the players get the opportunities to showcase their talent. The Vijay Hazare Trophy, Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, U-16, U-19."

"There are so many tournaments. And if you see, all the best all-rounders are still part of the team. So, you have to raise your benchmark as an all-rounder to be part of the team," Arun Dhumal said via Revsportz.

Dhumal waiting for the stakeholders' response regarding the abolishment of the Impact Player rule

When asked about the future of the Impact player sub, Arun Dhumal confirmed that they will take the feedback of the franchise owners. Whatever works out the best for the players and the teams in the Indian Premier League, will take place accordingly.

"That we will discuss with all the stakeholders. Will see their feedback and point of views also. And what works best for the tournament, in the interest of the players and franchises, we will do that. In the larger interest of the game, whatever is best for the tournament, we will do that," Arun Dhumal concluded.
