West Indies A vs South Africa A Live Streaming, 1st Unofficial Test: The battle between future stars of West Indies and South Africa enters a red-ball phase as both 'A’ teams gear up for the 1st Unofficial Test, starting Saturday, June 1.
With the white-ball series wrapped up in South Africa A’s favour, all eyes now shift to the picturesque Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia for a five-day classic in Caribbean conditions.

South Africa A, fresh from their 2-0 ODI series win, will head into the longer format with momentum, composure and purpose. West Indies A, meanwhile, will look to use home advantage and test their young guns in the demanding Test format. Both sides boast of in-form performers and rising talents, promising an intense cricketing showdown.
St Lucia in June presents a typical tropical mix—sunshine with scattered showers, especially during the afternoon. The Daren Sammy pitch traditionally offers something for everyone—early seam movement for pacers, consistent bounce for batters, and grip for spinners as the match progresses. A balanced contest is on the cards, but rain interruptions might play a part on Days 2 and 4.
After dominating the limited-overs leg, South Africa A will look to carry their confidence into the Test arena. Sinethemba Qeshile has led the charge with the bat (197 runs), and Tshepo Moreki has been lethal with the ball (6 wickets), making them players to watch in the red-ball clash.
West Indies A, on the other hand, have shown sparks of individual brilliance despite losing the ODI series. Shaqkere Parris’s gutsy 96 in the third unofficial ODI and Jediah Blades’s 6 wickets indicate the bench strength in Caribbean cricket. Captain Tevin Imlach will be banking on senior names like Alick Athanaze and Oshane Thomas to step up under pressure.
Though South Africa A hold the upper hand based on recent form, the Test format brings in a different set of challenges—patience, discipline, and temperament will be tested. Expect West Indies A to come out with renewed intent and give the visitors a run for their money.
