The two-match test series between South Africa and Sri Lanka is crucial for both the teams in a bid to qualify for the final of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25. These two teams still stand a chance for the WTC final qualification.

SA vs SL: Pitch Report
The Kingsmead surface is pretty good for the bowlers in terms of bounce and pace. It will remain similar throughout all five days. Adjusting to the bounce will be the challenge for the batters. This venue has a better record for the team that bats first, because it can be hard to chase totals in the final innings, which is why the toss will be crucial.
