South Africa vs West Indies, 2nd Test - chairman - 03-07-2023
Despite their win in Centurion, the South Africans did not dominate. Despite their loss, the West Indians were not outplayed. That bodes well for the coming contest.

West Indies:
The XI at Centurion gave a decent enough account of themselves to be retained, but given the likely conditions the visitors are mulling picking left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie. If they do, Shannon Gabriel could sit out.

West Indies better hope Motie is fit

From all reports the Wanderers pitch aids spin ; so Motie should be in the playing X1 provided he has recovered from his back issue with the under performing Mayers dropped
