South Africa may have a chance to reach the WTC Final if they win both test matches and then hope India loses all test matches against Australia which will be a tough ask but cricket is a funny game and anything can happen. We have seen the England Cricket team whitewash Pakistan by 3-0 just recently. South Africa is currently in the 4th spot with 72 points in the World Test Champion points table.

Series Prediction
South Africa is the clear favorite to win the 2-match test series mainly because they got the home advantage as well as more premium bowling resources in comparison with west indies. However, the cricket odds are with West Indies on the limited-overs series as they are a much better side in the shorter format of the game. Kraigg Brathwaite, Jason Holder, Jermaine Blackwood, Kyle Mayers & Alzarri Joseph are some of the key players in the West Indies lineup who have to perform at their very best to have a good chance of beating South Africa at their home.
