RSA vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis
South Africa are heading into the test match against Sri Lanka for the first test meeting between the two teams since 2021. The Proteas have a significant advantage over Sri Lanka when it comes to taste meetings. In the 31 meetings between the two teams, South Africa have picked up 16 victories compared to just nine wins for Sri Lanka while the remaining six games have not produced a result. Amidst such a one-sided nature of the contest, South Africa are unlikely to be complacent with both teams heading on the back of recent test success. The game is part of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 and it will provide South Africa with a much-needed push into the WTC finals. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka occupies third place in the WTC table with five victories and four defeats.

TEAMS PREVIEW
South Africa Preview
South Africa are big favourites coming into the game. The home team were able to get a series victory over Bangladesh. The team appeared to be in a very confident mood with a string of positive performances in both matches. A number of players are in excellent form with Aiden Markram particularly taking the limelight with his consistent showing in 2024. The top-order batsman continues to have a definite edge in the test innings with 2500 runs picked up at an average of 35.
Meanwhile, Keshav Maharaj is likely to be the top bowler for the team. He has been the second top wicket-taker for the team in the 2024 season. His ability to overpower any poor situation will be a key asset for the Proteas. There are some crucial players returning back to the squad for South Africa but none more so than Temba Bavuma, who has been out with an elbow injury. Meanwhile, Gerald Coetzee and Marco Jansen are also keen on bouncing back.
The batting order looks very strong for South Africa whose bowling will be depended heavily on the pacers.
South Africa Predicted Playing XI:
Aiden Markram, Wiaan Mulder, Kyle Verreynne, Tony de Zorzi, Ryan Rickleton, Temba Bavuma (c), Keshav Maharaj, Gerald Coetzee, Tristan Stubbs, Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen
South Africa Actual Playing XI:
Temba Bavuma, Tony de Zorzi, Aiden Markram, Marco Jansen, Wiaan Mulder, David Bedingham, Tristan Stubbs, Kyle Verreynne, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada
Sri Lanka Preview
Sri Lanka are heading into this new series on the back of a success over New Zealand in the recent test. There were plenty of areas where Sri Lanka need to improve with the top of the batting order being one among them. After having previously struggled against South Africa, Sri Lanka have every reason to be fearful ahead of this game. The home team will be keen to make the most of the favourable conditions for bowlers – especially pacers. The fall of an early wicket may lead to a collapse from Sri Lanka in such difficult circumstances.
Even though the batting lineup appears to have depth on paper, it has not been sufficient enough – as proved by the recent series against New Zealand. At the same time, Sri Lanka have also included a couple of emerging talents to add spice to the team. Kamindu Mendis is likely to be the key emerging player for Sri Lanka. He is averaging a whopping 91 runs in the test format after having grabbed 1000+ runs in just eight test games. Asitha Fernando, meanwhile, has picked up 59 wickets at an average of 25 to play a key role in the batting lineup.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing XI:
Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva (c), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Angelo Mathews, Kasun Rajitha, Vishwa Fernando, Lasith Embuldeniya, Asitha Fernando
Sri Lanka Actual Playing XI:
Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Dhananjaya de Silva, Angelo Mathews, Kamindu Mendis, Kusal Mendis, Dinesh Chandimal, Vishwa Fernando, Prabath Jayasuriya, Lahiru Kumara, Asitha Fernando

Pace Bowling
Spin Bowling
South Africa have a 33% win record when it comes to games at the Kingsmead in Durban. They have been able to get 15 victories from the 45 test matches on this ground with 16 of them ending in a defeat. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, have never lost a test on this ground after winning two of their three matches.
Toss: To Bowl
The surface at Kingsmead is generally known to favour a lot of bounce and pace. It beat South Africa on this ground back in 2019 when the two teams met for a test match. This would be especially pronounced in the early innings. As a result, it would be a lot easier to bat later in the game. The toss winner is likely to choose to bowl first.

Winning Prediction
South Africa have their composure across the lineup to be able to make a strong performance out of the coming head-to-head meeting with Sri Lanka. Despite recent wins in this series, Sri Lanka have weaknesses that could be exposed by the pitch and pacey nature of South Africa.
Our prediction is for South Africa to win
