Can West Indies revive their fortunes?
Having sent a second-string South Africa side to New Zealand earlier this year, the big guns have returned under the leadership of Temba Bavuma. They are currently seventh in the World Tests Championship rankings with just a points percentage of 25 from four matches.
On the other hand, Kraigg Brathwaite’s West Indies, have the worst PCT of 19.04 among the nine teams. They are reeling at the bottom after a 0-3 whitewash in England.
