𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs Australia 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 14, Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 10:00 AM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium, Colombo, Sri Lanka 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd ODI 2024 After being thrashed in the Tests, Sri Lanka can get revenge with a 2-0 ODI series win on offer on Friday! Sri Lanka vs Australia TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis The opening game of the series on Thursday was a great contest to watch or follow as a neutral and this clash in Colombo could well be the same on Friday! Initially the game looked guaranteed to go the same way as the Tests which had seen Australia easily win 2-0, and when the hosts were 4/1, 6/2. 31/4 and 55/5, another home defeat looked on the cards. That was before an exceptional innings from Charith Asalanka took his team to 214 all out, a total which their talented spin bowling attack were able to successfully defend. Australia will be hurting following that loss and will be desperate to get a win to take some ODI momentum into the ICC Champions Trophy. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview It is very rare for an ODI side to see three of their top four dismissed for single figure scores yet still going on to win a game by 49 runs but that is exactly what Sri Lanka achieved in Thursday’s match. They will take confidence from that achievement into this game but they can not rely on their skipper, Charith Asalanka to dig them out of the hole again after he brilliantly made 127 runs from 126 balls in their total of 214! The likes of Kamindu Mendis and opener Pathum Nissanka will both be expected to deliver more on Friday. Australia Preview Although this Australian side is without all three of their first choice pace bowling options, only a fool would right them off in this game as they have an in-built ability to bounce back in any format from adversity! We saw this in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy when they looked dead and buried after being thrashed in the opening Test but went on to inflict an easy series defeat on India and with the likes of Steven Smith, Alex Carey and Adam Zampa in the side, they will be no pushovers. Young players like Jake Fraser-McGurk and Cooper Connolly are still finding their feet but could easily produce a fluent innings with the bat in this game. Weather Conditions There could be some cloud cover at times during this game in Colombo but overall it will be very hot with the temperature ranging from 26 degrees to 32 degrees across the ODI on Friday. SL vs AUS Pitch Report The ball always turns at this venue in Colombo and we will see plenty of grip for the spinners as well as the pace bowlers with their cutters. We predict a par total of no more than 280 for the team batting first. Toss: To Bat Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first in the opening ODI and went on to win the game. On a pitch which will not get quicker, we expect both teams to want to bat first once more.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs Australia 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 12, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 09:30 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium, Colombo, Sri Lanka𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st ODI 2025 Sri Lanka vs Australia TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis After convincingly winning the two-match Test series, Australia will take on Sri Lanka before they head to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The ODI will be played at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on 12th February from 9:30 am onwards. These matches will be the last chance for both teams to refine their strategies and finalize their best playing combinations ahead of the Champions Trophy. Australia beat Sri Lanka in both Tests earlier. In the first Test, they won by 9 wickets after Steve Smith and Alex Carey scored centuries. On the other hand, they posted a massive victory by an innings and 242 runs with Khwaja hitting a double ton followed by Smith scoring his consecutive century. Matthew Kuhnemann picked up 16 wickets in two Tests. His form has raised Australia’s hopes for the upcoming Champions Trophy where most of the pitches will be Spin-friendly. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka will go ahead with the same eleven players that played against New Zealand. Pathum Nissanka will open the innings with Avishka Fernando. Nissanka has 766 runs in the last 17 ODIs played in Sri Lanka. This includes a 210-run knock along with two hundreds and five fifties. His partner averages just above thirty. Kusal Mendis will come at number three. He will be the batter to watch out for. In 2024, Mendis scored 742 runs at an average of 53. Out of this 638 runs came in Sri Lanka at an average of 58. He has a fifty-plus score in every three games he has played. Kamindu Mendis will partner up with skipper Charith Asalanka and Janith Liyanage in the middle. Mendis averages above 50 in the last 6 ODIs he has played. Asalanka has been in terrific form with the ball and the bat for the last two years. In 16 games he has scored 605 runs at an average of 51. With the ball, he has 14 wickets in the last 14 games he has bowled in Sri Lanka at an average below 20. Liya nage also averages above 45 in the middle. He can fix his place in the team for the upcoming year if he survives the Aussie attack. Australia Preview Australia will be looking forward to the series as a practice for the upcoming Champions Trophy. Matthew Short will open the innings with Jake Fraser-McGurk. The duo has failed to impress in the last five ODIs with their cumulative batting average below 25. Travis Head might be picked above Fraser-McGruk. Head missed the series against Pakistan. But he has 248 runs in the last 4 ODIs he played at an average of 82. Surprisingly, Head is the only Aussie batter to have a century since the start of the last year. He will be the player to watch out for. Steven Smith will come at number three. Smith has been their leading run-scorer since last year. He has 306 runs in 10 ODIs at an average of 43. Josh Inglis will come in the middle with Aaron Hardie, Alex Carey, and Marnus Labuschagne. Inglis has 219 runs at an average of 36 since the last year. He had helped Australia win the World Cup game against Sri Lanka. Both Hardie and Labuschagne have less than 150 runs each in the last 7 innings. Australia might include Glen Maxwell who is currently out of form. Alex Carey has 164 runs in the four ODIs he played since the start of the last year with an average of 82. Weather Conditions The weather at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo is expected to be cloudy on match day, with temperatures ranging between 23 and 32 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 6-11 km/h. It gives a good balance for both bowlers and batsmen. Bowlers can benefit from the pitch in the early stages, which offers a nice bounce. As the game goes on and the pitch gets older, batsmen can play their shots comfortably. SL vs AUS Pitch Report The game will be played at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo on 12th February from 9:30 am onwards. The stadium has a capacity of 35000 spectators. The stadium has hosted 8 Tests, 167 ODIs and 58 T20s. Toss: To Bat In 167 ODIs played here, the results have favored teams defending the target on 90 occasions while 65 have been won by the teams chasing it. The average first-innings score is 231 with the highest total of 375. The team winning the toss should bat first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs Australia 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : February 06, Thursday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 10:00 AM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Galle International Cricket Stadium , Galle, Sri Lanka 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 2nd Test 2025 After a gigantic win for Australia in the first Test, Sri Lanka will look to level the two-game series in Galle starting on Thursday. Sri Lanka vs Australia TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis The first Test of this two-game series is one which Sri Lanka and the home supporters will want to forget in a hurry but the reality is that there could well still be some scarring in the minds of the players in the home dressing room ahead of this Test! Australia won the toss and never looked back, showing that there is still plenty of value in the old Test cricket saying of ‘bat once, bat big’ as they posted 654/6 declared on their way to a victory by an innings and 242 runs. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Totals of 165 and 247 all out are never going to win any side a Test match and so it proved for Sri Lanka who were well short of their best against Australia last week. Fortunately for the host, there is plenty of experience in their side and nearly all of their batters have fine records to fall back on. But there can be no excuses this time and it is imperative that Dinuth Karunaratne bows out on a high and the new kid on the block of Sri Lanka cricket, Kamindu Mendis, is able to find his form after a poor outing in Galle last week. The bowlers will also need to raise their levels after struggling and toiling in the field in the first Test. They were put to the sword by the opening pair of Usman Khawaja and Travis Head and never recovered, so if Sri Lanka do find themselves in the field once again on day one then they must have some new ideas to make early inroads. Australia Preview Particularly in modern Test cricket and even more so when playing overseas, things rarely go as perfect as they went for Australia in the opening Test of the series! As such, they will know they must maintain their standards across the team in this game when they may not be so fortunate to win the toss and benefit from the best of the conditions. Usman Khawaja (232), Steve Smith (141) and debutant Josh Inglis (102) all made centuries in Galle last week and the trio will all be desperate to get back in the middle in this game. Not that they are the only capable batters in the line-up as shown by Travis Head who hit aa half-century and was awarded the Allan Border Medal earlier this week due to his incredible cross-format performances over the last 12 months. Weather Conditions The forecast is for another warm five days in Galle with the temperature predicted to be over 30 degrees across the entire Test match. There may be some short cloudy periods but no rain is forecast. SL vs AUS Pitch Report There is not a great deal of bounce in this wicket and the bowlers really have to work hard for their wickets. Batters with patience will succeed although they may need to take a different approach later in the game when the spinners come into their own. Toss: To Bat On a pitch which is likely to be best for batting on across the opening two days before turning a lot more from day three onwards, we expect both captains to be desperate to bat first when they go out for the toss.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sri Lanka vs Australia 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : January 29, Wednesday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 10:00 AM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Galle International Cricket Stadium , Galle, Sri Lanka 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st Test 2025 Can Sri Lanka continue their dominance at home? Sri Lanka vs Australia TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SL vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis Sri Lanka will be hosting Australia for a 2-match Test series followed by a 2-match ODI series. Steve Smith will be leading Australia in the absence of Pat Cummins. Sean Abbott makes it to the Aussie squad as a replacement for the fast-bowling skipper. The hosts have a strong overall squad featuring all of their key players. The stars of their recent series win against New Zealand at home have all made it to the squad. TEAMS PREVIEW Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka are coming into this series on the back of a series loss in South Africa. They lost both their games against the Proteas by quite a big margin. Both batters and bowlers failed to capitalize on crucial moments during the series. The left-arm orthodox bowler Prabath Jayasuriya will play a key role for the hosts. He’s been among the consistent wicket-takers and makes a huge impact with the ball. Asitha Fernando and Lahiru Kumara are other reliable wicket-takers in this squad. While there is great variety in the bowling attack, these 3 along with Vishwa Fernando will be the ones to watch out for. Australia Preview Australia secured the WTC final spot after beating India at home in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. They will be confident after the big win and though they are without their regular captain, the Aussies have their core intact in this series. They’ve got many in-form and promising batters. However, the likes of Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschagne will also be put to the test on this tour. The senior players in this team were under the scanner after their first loss at home against India. Usman Khawaja is one to watch out for. He’s towards the end of his career and will need to score big to keep his position in the side. Labuschange was also out of form before he scored a couple of crucial fifties against India. Playing in the sub-continent is a big challenge and the likes of Khawaja, Smith, and Labuschagne will be expected to lead the Aussies with the bat. Beau Webster showed great promise against India with both bat and ball. Weather Conditions It will be cloudy on Day 1 of the Test followed by a rain prediction for the remaining days of the Test. It is not a good news for cricket fans. Light rain is expected on Day 2 and 3 followed by a heavy thunderstorm on the 4th day of the match. SL vs AUS Pitch Report It is a balanced wicket that offers help for the batters on the first couple of days of the match. Sri Lanka scored 602 for 5 in their last outing here against New Zealand after opting to bat first. The average 1st innings score at this venue is 369 runs but it gets much lower in the 3rd and 4th innings. We reckon anything around 400 or more in the 1st innings will be a match-winning total. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have won 25 of the 46 Test matches played at this venue. The last time Sri Lanka played a Test here, they won by an innings and 154 runs. Chasing is not going to be easy on this ground in the last two days. Both skippers will look to bat first in this match.

Sri Lanka are on a tour to New Zealand to play three T20Is and three ODIs. New Zealand won the T20I series 2-1, and now they have a series-winning lead of 2-0 against Sri Lanka with one match to go. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand are proving to be a great ODI team especially in home conditions. They have played 16 ODIs in last five years at home and have lost only one. They have a particularly good record against Sri Lanka in the last two years where the stats are in favor of New Zealand 5-2 with one no-result. After winning the T20I series 2-1, New Zealand have won both the ODIs in the 3-match ODI series to get an unassailable lead of 2-0 against Sri Lanka.

Rachin Ravindra scored 4-5 while Will Young top-scored with 90 runs. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka have had a disastrous tour of New Zealand so far. They were here to play three T20 internationals and three ODIs. Having lost the three-match T20I series 1-2 to New Zealand, they have lost the ODI series as well with a match to go after losing the second ODI as well at Hamilton. In the first ODI, they managed just 178 all-out against New Zealand’s balling attack. Avishka Fernando and Janith Liyange scored valuable runs as the rest of the batting lineup crumbled under the pressure. It was an easy win for New Zealand by 9 wickets. In the second ODI, Sri Lanka elected to field first in a range-shortened game – 37 overs aside. By the time New Zealand’s second wicket fell at 143, they had scored at 7 runs and over against Sri Lankan attack. Mahesh Theekshana did pull things back with some lower order wickets. He ended up getting 4 wickets for 44 runs in 8 overs. Wanindu Hasaranga took 2 wickets for 39 runs in 8 overs. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Eden Park, Auckland is expected to be pleasant and sunny. The temperature would range between 22 °C and 17 °C. There may be some rain in the day, but that should not abandon the game. NZ vs SL Pitch Report It is one of the most iconic cricket venues in New Zealand. Established in 1900, this venue hosted a Test Match in 1930. Since then, it has hosted many Tests, ODIs, and T20 International. Hidden Park is popular for its unique dimensions where it has very short straight boundaries. It has hosted 2015 ODI World Cup matches as well. The venue has a seating capacity of 50,000 spectators, making it one of the biggest stadiums in New Zealand. Toss: To Bowl In the 74 ODIs at this venue that ended in outright result, about 60% have been won by the team’s bowling first, whereas the rest have been won by the team’s batting first. This is typically a New Zealand venue where there is early assistance for the bowlers. The team winning the toss should bowl first here.

Sri Lanka are on a tour to New Zealand to play 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs. The T20I series ended in favor of New Zealand as they won the series 2-1. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview When it comes to ODIs, New Zealand are enjoying a great run at home. In the last 5 years, New Zealand played 15 games at home and won 12. They lost 1 game and 2 games ended in no result. Against Sri Lanka also, they have a good record of winning 4 out of their last 7 head-to-head games (1 no -result) New Zealand started the 3-match ODI series with a big win by 9 wickets against Sri Lanka. In the first ODI, New Zealand bowled first after winning the toss. They reduced Sri Lanka to 4 for 23 by the 10th over. Sri Lanka somehow managed to reach 178 all out in the 44th over.

Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka are on a tour to New Zealand to play three T20Is and three ODIs. They have already lost the T20 series 1-2 in favor of New Zealand. In the first ODI as well, Sri Lanka looked clueless against a top-notch New Zealand bowling attack, losing the batch by 9 wickets with about 23 overs remaining. It will be interesting to see if they can come back in this second ODI. The first ODI started with Sri Lanka batted first after losing the toss. Sri Lanka started cautiously, however, lost 4 quick wickets by the 10th over, scoring just 23 runs. Avishka Fernando and Janith Liyange forced a partnership to take them to 110. Chamindu Vikramasinghe and Wanindu Hasaranga added some runs down the order, but Sri Lanka could manage just 178 all out in the 44th over. Avishka Fernando was the top scorer with 56 runs. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Seddon Park, Hamilton is expected to be mostly cloudy and breezy. The temperature will range between a high of 25°C and a low of 12°C.

NZ vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka in the 3rd T20I of the 3-match series at Saxton Oval, Nelson on 2nd January 2024 at 5:45 am IST. Sri Lanka are on a tour to New Zealand to play three ODIs and three T20 internationals. The tour has begun with a series of T20Is and will be followed by 3 ODIs. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview New Zealand have had a mixed year 2024 winning 11 of the 21 international T20 games. Having said that, they have done pretty well against Sri Lanka, winning 4 of their last 5 head-to-head games. They have already won 2 games in this 3-match series. In the first T20I against Sri Lanka, New Zealand pulled off an amazing win by 8 runs. Batting first New Zealand scored 172 for 8 thanks to the rearguard efforts from Daryl Mitchell (62 off 42 balls) and Michael Bracewell (59 off 33 balls). The duo was involved in a 105-run partnership after New Zealand were 65 runs for five wickets in the 10th over. The defense did not start well as they allowed Sri Lanka to cruise to 121 in the 13th over. However, Jacob Duffy took 3 wickets in the 14th over to gain the momentum back for New Zealand. New did not allow the Lankans to get back in the game. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka have done pretty much same as New Zealand in the year 2024. They have played 22 games, winning 10 out of them. But they do particularly badly against New Zealand with just 1 win in the last 5 head-to-head games. Sri Lanka had a great chance of winning the first T20 international against New Zealand. After restricting New Zealand to 172 for 8, Sri Lanka started the chase excellently well, with their openers, Pathum Nissanka and Kushal Mendis, scoring above 120 runs without loss in the 13th over. But as soon as they lost the first wicket on 121, they lost a couple more on the same score. The rest of the batting just could not stand up against New Zealand bowlers. None of the next seven batters managed to score in double digits as Sri Lanka lost by 8 runs. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Saxton Oval, Nelson is expected to be a bit of cloudy as well as sunny throughout the day. The temperature will range between a high of 22°C and a low of around 12°C. There is a possibility of a morning shower but that should not affect the game much.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : New Zealand vs Sri Lanka𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : December 28 ,Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 11:45 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, New Zealand𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 1st T20 2024 Batting challenge for Sri Lanka in New Zealand New Zealand vs Sri Lanka TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. NZ vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis It is the first game of the three-match T20i series, and both teams shall look for an early lead. New Zealand had drawn the last T20 series against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka and is playing at home; the side will count on its chances. The Sri Lankans haven’t done well outside the subcontinent in recent years, and this will be a big test for the team in this game. Sri Lanka has a poor record playing in New Zealand. They have won only once in the eight T20 games against the hosts. The side doesn’t have a strong bowling attack for these conditions. New Zealand has a strong fast bowling unit and shall look to leverage it. The history is against the Sri Lankans, and it will be interesting to see if they can turn it around on this tour. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview Mitchell Santner and his team will start confidently in this game. They have done well at home and have the bowling attack to trouble the Sri Lankans in these conditions. However, Santner will know his opponents’ abilities to deliver a strong counterpunch and expect a strong show from his players. Tim Robinson and Mark Chapman will look to deliver a good start and put the team in a commanding position. The middle order is strong for the team, and they expect a good show in this game from Rachin Ravindra, Glenn Phillips, and Daryl Mitchell. Mitchell Santner, Zakary Foulkes, and Mitchell Hay strengthen this batting lineup with their hitting abilities. The bowlers will enjoy bowling in these conditions, and the team expects Jacob Duffy and Matt Henry to rock the Sri Lankan top order. Mitchell Santner will look to use his experience and do well in the middle overs with Zakary Foulkes. Ravindra and Glenn Phillips add variety to this attack, making it strong. Sri Lanka Preview Charith Asalanka’s team will face a massive challenge in this game. They have struggled in these conditions, and their batting lineup has a history of struggling on fast and bouncy tracks. Asalanka would like his batsmen to take the challenge head-on and do well in this game to take an early lead. Pathum Nissanka has enjoyed good form in recent matches, and he must deliver a good start with Kusal Mendis and handle the Kiwi fast bowling attack. Kusal Perera, Kamindu Mendis, and Charitha Asalanka make a rock solid. Bhanuka Rajapaksa and Wanindu Hasaranga are good hitters, and the team expects runs from them in the lower middle order. The bowling attack must use the conditions well for the team to win. Matheesha Pathirana and Nuwan Thushara must get early breakthroughs, as New Zealand has a strong batting lineup. Asitha Fernando and Wanindu Hasaranga will look to keep an eye on the scoring rate in the middle overs. Maheesh Theekshana and Kamindu Mendis must do well in the supporting role. Weather Conditions The skies over Mount Maunganui will have some clouds on December 28. The wicket would be challenging to bat, where the ball will bounce and move. The side that bats first in the game should be happy to score 180 runs or more, with the average first-innings score being 152 runs. NZ vs SL Pitch Report Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, is a happy hunting ground for fast bowlers. They get the ball to seam and swing on this surface. However, the smaller dimensions of the venue also allow batsmen to play their strokes easily. Grass on the track makes it a very challenging place for the spinners to bowl. Toss: To Bowl The conditions will be good for bowling when the ball moves around at the start of the game. We have seen batting getting easier as the game goes on. Hence, the side winning the toss in this game shouldn’t hesitate to bowl first.

South Africa vs Sri Lanka TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. RSA vs SL Match Prediction & Analysis The second and final Test of the two-match Test series between South Africa and Sri Lanka is about to commence on December 5 at St George’s Park in Gqebera. South Africa have taken an early 1-0 lead and have in the process, bolstered their chances of making it to their maiden WTC final by crushing the visitors by 233 runs in the Durban Test. History was made on that day as South Africa were able to overcome their jinx and register their maiden Test win against Sri Lanka in Durban. While both teams are still in contention for a spot in the WTC final, South Africa appear as strong favorites following their monumental win in the first Test. Head-to-Head Record: South Africa and Sri Lanka share a long yet rich history in Test cricket. In their 31-year-long Test history, South Africa have emerged victorious in 17 out of 32 Tests with Sri Lanka managing to win 9 of them. But in South Africa, the tourists have only managed to win on three occasions since 1998. Furthermore, in their last five Test fixtures, South Africa managed to have the upper hand as well winning 3 out of the last 5 Tests. TEAMS PREVIEW South Africa Preview South African camp would be brewing in confidence after their famous win in Durban. Not only were they able to bury the ghosts of the 2019 Test defeat (which saw them lose the series), but the hosts have now made a statement with that win making them a force to reckon with in the WTC points table. Marco Jansen was simply unplayable in that match and delivered his career-best Test figures of 7/13 & 4/73 to power SA to a crushing win. However, the team has been rocked by injury updates as Coetzee and Mulder have both been ruled out for the rest of the summer. Experts estimate that the teenager Kwena Maphaka may get a go in their absence while the management would also be considering either getting Dane Paterson or Senuran Muthusamy to fill the second vacant spot. Sri Lanka Preview Sri Lanka walked into the series with a lot of promise but their poor show with the bat in the first innings has raised questions about their overall resilience as a unit. The Lankan seamers featuring Kumara and the two Fernandos were breathing fire and caused a lot of headaches to the Proteas batters with the new ball. But when it was their turn to bat, Sri Lanka folded for their lowest-ever Test score of 42-10 with only two batters managing to get to double figures. From that moment, Sri Lanka were playing the catch-up game as SA batted effortlessly in the second innings and mounted a target of 516 which proved way beyond the reach of the visitors. Following their humiliating defeat, Sri Lanka would be forced to make some changes to their lineup. Sadeera Samarawickrama, being a technically astute batter has been a consistent performer for Sri Lanka across all three formats and he could be given a green signal. Weather Conditions We expect partially cloudy weather on all five days of the Test match with little to no rain threat. Temperatures throughout all five days are expected to be at a modest high of 27C but can drop to as low as 19C when the evening approaches. Overall, the weather is going to be warm with wind speed expected to be in the range of 20-35 km/hr. RSA vs SL Pitch Report The lively deck at St George’s Park offers prodigious assistance to the fast bowlers in the form of sharp pace and bounce. Moreover, the ball also has a tendency to nip around off the seam when the ball is new. As the Test match starts progressing to the latter stages, the natural deterioration starts taking effect as the cracks get longer making batting in the fourth innings a very daunting affair. From a batter’s standpoint, the ball will move around quite a bit both in the air and off the pitch and there will be no easy runs on offer for the most part of the Test. Toss: To Bat Teams batting first have a slight edge. Whilst the average first innings score batting first amounts to a healthy 312, the score drops all the way down to 156 in the fourth innings. This highlights the extraordinary difficulty of batting last and keeping this factor in mind, teams should look to bat first and refrain from the possibility of chasing. In the 32 Test matches played at this venue the team batting first won 14 matches, while the team batting second won 13 matches.
