The second Test between West Indies and South Africa is set to begin on Thursday in Guyana, following a drawn first Test where rain significantly impacted play. Alick Athanaze's impressive 92 helped the West Indies secure a draw, despite South Africa's dominant performance throughout the match. The Proteas posted 356 runs in their first innings, while the West Indies managed only 233, with Keshav Maharaj taking four wickets. With the West Indies struggling for form, having not won a Test in their last four matches, they will need to improve their batting to secure a series victory. Weather conditions indicate a possibility of thundery showers but mostly dry weather is expected, allowing for a competitive match. Both teams are eager to clinch the series, making the upcoming Test a pivotal encounter.
