South Africa and the West Indies are two of the most successful cricket teams in the world. They have a long and storied rivalry, dating back to 1992. The two teams have faced each other 115 times across all formats.
South Africa are known for their strong batting lineup and fast bowlers while the multiple World Cup winners West Indies have dominated in batting and boasted a formidable fast bowling line-up.
However, South Africa’s emergence coincided with the decline of the West Indies. And as a result, Proteas have enjoyed great success in Test cricket. While it’s neck-to-neck in T20s, Protas have been dominant against West Indies in ODIs.
Here is a summary of the head-to-head records between South Africa and West Indies in all three formats of cricket:
| Format | Matches | South Africa win | West Indies win | Draws/No results |
| Test cricket | 32 | 22 | 3 | 7 |
| ODI cricket | 64 | 45 | 16 | 1 |
| T20I cricket | 19 | 11 | 8 | 0 |
