With Andre Russell back in the squad, it provides more depth to their batting and gives the team an extra bowling option as well.

Meanwhile, South African bowlers got some serious treatment from the West Indies batters in the 1^st T20I.  The160 run target looked like a cakewalk against the formidable batting line-up of West Indies. South Africa should back their abilities and come up with better strategies in the 2^nd T20I.
