For his excellent performance in this series, Keshav Maharaj was chosen as the Man of the Series. Keshav took 13 wickets in the two-match series. While Wiaan Mulder was chosen as the Player of the Match for his excellent contribution with bat and ball. With this series win, the South African team maintained its dominance over the West Indies. The first Test series was played between these two teams in 1998/99 in which Shaun Pollock's team defeated the visiting team led by Brian Lara 5-0 and since then the West Indies team is looking for a series win against the African team.

The West Indies defeated South Africa in a one-sided encounter in Barbados in 1992, their first official Test match, marking their return to Test cricket after 22 years of isolation due to the country's apartheid policy.

Talking about this Test, South African team was all out for 160 runs while batting first and after this West Indies team was also all out for just 144 runs. After this, in the second innings, African batsmen scored 246 runs on the board and they also got a lead of 16 runs, due to which a difficult target of 263 runs was set in front of West Indies and in the end they missed it by 40 runs. After the two Test match series, now a 3 match T20 series will also be played between the two teams.
