Match Preview

This game marks the first five-day game the two teams play in over eight months. The tourists, Sri Lanka, haven’t played an international game since the resumption of cricket in July and might feel a touch rusty as well. However, some of their squad members come into this tour on the back of a fruitful Lanka Premier League campaign. But the rigour of the Test format would definitely test Dimuth Karunaratne and co, who did get the better of South Africa on their last tour here.

Speaking of the hosts, South Africa are entering a new era, which is being heralded by Quinton de Kock. The hosts have some exciting players in their ranks who will look to make a mark in this series.

Although they will miss the services of Kagiso Rabada, the South Africans have a supremely talented bowling attack, at the forefront of which are pacers Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi. With a good blend of youth and experience in their ranks, South Africa will look to exact revenge.

Both teams look well-balanced and well-equipped on paper, which makes this clash all the more exciting. However, the hosts will hold the edge owing to the knowledge of the home conditions. Either way, we should be in for a cracking game of cricket at the SuperSport Park in Centurion.
