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.

That is why these two matches are very important for these two sides. South Africa will take on Sri Lanka in the first test at Kingsmead, Durban, starting on November 27.

Sri Lanka are placed third on the ICC WTC 2023-25 table, while South Africa are placed fifth. Australia’s loss to India has made a way for these two sides, and a win here can give them a big boost.

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.
