The Super Sport Park Stadium in Centurion is known for providing flat tracks with uneven bounce. The matches played at this venue during the recently concluded SA20 were high-scoring as usual. This stadium is heaven for batters whereas graveyard for bowlers. Let us see how the pitch turns out for this second T20I match.

Markram is a player who has all the games and knows when to change gears.

South Africa vs West Indies Match Toss Prediction
The stadium in Centurion is not a big one and the boundary dimensions here are short. The pitch is also usually a flat track with some uneven bounce, which is the only hope for bowlers here. Teams playing here like to bat first and put runs on the board because this is a batting-friendly wicket. The wicket gets slow as the match progresses so both the teams would want to win the toss and put runs on the board at the Super Sport Park Stadium in Centurion, South Africa.
Weather Report
The weather in Centurion for the past few days has not been good for playing cricket. We are seeing constant showers in this city and it is raining heavily. The first T20I match which was played here yesterday was also narrowed down to an 11-over-per-side game due to rain and a wet outfield. We hope that all the cricket fans get to see a full game between these two nations on Sunday and pray for some mercy from the rain gods.

Favorites to win: South Africa
Considering all the factors, we predict the South African team to bounce back from their loss in the first T20I match and win this second T20I. They have a strong unit that knows how to perform in pressure situations. It will be a tough job for them to do against an in-form West Indian team but we predict the Africans to come out on top.
