South Africa (SA) will be facing West Indies (WI) in the second ODI at East London’s Buffalo Park on March 18. The first match was washed away due to rain without a ball bowled, so this will be a very crucial game for both teams in this three-match ODI series. South Africa won both Test matches against West Indies and are favourites to seal the ODIs as well. Wayne Parnell and Tabraiz Shamsi have replaced the injured duo of Wiaan Mulder and Keshav Maharaj.
