South Africa's captain Temba Bavuma has called for his batsmen to be 'more ruthless' ahead of the second Test against the West Indies, which begins on August 15 in Guyana. The first Test ended in a draw after rain disrupted play, leaving South Africa needing to win this match to keep their World Test Championship final hopes alive. Bavuma expressed frustration at the missed opportunity to secure a win, highlighting the need for batters to convert starts into significant scores. He noted a strong bowling effort, particularly from Keshav Maharaj, who took eight wickets in the match. The team, which is relatively young and inexperienced, is looking to build confidence and address batting inconsistencies. The upcoming match is expected to have a more favorable pitch for batting compared to the previous Test.
