Sri Lanka Tour Of South Africa Match Prediction and Tips

Sri Lanka is the most successful Asian team to tour South Africa and the only one that has won a series there. For this tour, though, the stakes are very high. Both Sri Lanka and South Africa have four matches remaining in this cycle of the World Test Championship and need to win at least three out of those to have a shot at making the Finals.

South Africa's test team is undergoing a bit of a revamp but it is still a formidable opponent, especially in home conditions. Aiden Markram leads a strong batting lineup while Kagiso Rabada is back at his best to spearhead the bowling attack.

Sri Lanka has sent its Test regulars three weeks in advance to South Africa in an effort to help them get used to the conditions. It also shows just how important having context to these tours (that the WTC has added) is.

We think Sri Lanka is going to find it very hard to win the series but it could pull off an upset.
