Team Preview of SA vs SL 1st Test Match Prediction 2024
Sri Lanka is slowly and steadily finding their feat back in the top tier of the cricket team spot as they are winning as they won the ODI series for the first time since the ’90s, and then they won the T20I series against West Indies for the first time. They even won the test match series against New Zealand, and in the 2nd test, they won by an innings, which is something commendable that makes them a great contender to fight well against South Africa in their home ground.
South Africa also won their last two test matches, both against Bangladesh. Now, they will have a big test match against the Sri Lankan side, who are in high spirits and will give them a lot of challenge even at their own home ground. The good news for the South African side is that their test captain, Temba Bavuma, is back after a long-term elbow injury, and the other two players, including Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee, will also be part of the 14-man squad.
Lasith Embuldeniya and Oshada Fernando will likely return to the Sri Lankan squad, as they will be taking some of the spinners and top-order batters. In the last two matches, South Africa has been winning the test matches easily against the Sri Lanka side.
