After an intense battle in Guyana that ended with South Africa defeating the West Indies by 40 runs on the third day, the team won the series 1-0. The first test match in Trinidad ended in a draw due to the weather. Three Twenty20 match series will now come after the completion of the two-match Test series.
Here are the three players for the West Indies who starred against South Africa in the two-match Test series
3. Jomel Warrican
Jomel Warrican, the left-arm spinner from the West Indies, was outstanding in both of the first Test’s innings, scoring 4-69 during the first and 2-57 during the second. He was also very important to them during the second Test. To increase his total, he was able to capture two more wickets.
What makes Warrican such a deadly practitioner of his craft is his ability to land in the right spots at all times while not pitching the ball up excessively or allowing the batter to make use of his feet.

2. Alick Athanaze
Athanaze was much more effective during the first Test because he was able to find his range versus Maharaj and was less bothered by his first-inning dismissal. He used the sweep a number of times and was successful. Even though he scored 92 runs, including nine fours.
Athanaze misjudged a flighted ball in the second Test and failed to reach the ball’s pitch, allowing the slip fielder to easily make a catch after suffering multiple defeats. Despite not scoring much in the second Test, he surely was a huge positive in the timid West Indies batting line-up.
1. Jayden Seales
During the morning session in the second Test, fast bowler Jayden Seales’ Test-best performance of six for 61 destroyed the Proteas for 246 during their second innings. The hosts lost wickets in regular intervals to be eliminated for 222. With 12 wickets, he was the second-highest wicket taker in the series.
Seales was great during the first innings of the opening Test where was able to scalp three wickets. The pacer is surely going to be a lethal part of the bowling attack for the West Indies in the upcoming future.
