South Africa vs Sri Lanka Predictions

South Africa are favourites once again and rightly so. Sri Lanka have a good record in Durban, but after losing their last week, it is tough to see them come back at one of the Proteas best performing grounds.

South Africa Form

South Africa won the first Test in Durban against Sri Lanka by 233 to take the series lead. The hosts will now want to take one step closer to the final of the World Test Championship with another victory in Pretoria.

Batting first, the Proteas struggled on a go tough pitch and with a lot of rain around. They were eventually all out on day two for 191 runs. However, the bowlers made it look like a very good score as Marco Jansen took 7-13, bowling the visitors out for a paltry 42 runs.

The hosts went into bat again, this time they cruised to 366 runs before declaring. Tristan Stubbs top scored with 122 runs while Temba Bavuma added 113 runs.

Sri Lanka fared better in their second innings but were still all out for 282 runs. Marco Jansen took another four wickets to take his tally to 11 for the match.

South Africa Injuries & Team News

South Africa have had two injury blows ahead of this second Test. All-rounder, Wian Mulder has been ruled out of the series.

Sri Lanka Form

Sri Lanka were terribly disappointed after the first Test as they did so much good throughout, but a couple of hours of madness cost them in the end.

After bowling South Africa out for 191 runs, Sri Lanka were in the driving seat, but not for too long. They collapsed to 42 all out as only two players reached double figures - 13 being the highest score.

That ultimately cost the visitors as the Proteas then took advantage of good batting conditions to score 366 before declaring.

The 516 target was never within reach, but Sri Lanka fought hard to score 282 runs. Dinesh Chandimal top scored with 83 runs.

Verdict

South Africa v Sri Lanka 2nd Test

I am backing Tristan Stubbs to score 50+ and top score for South Africa in their first innings.

The experienced Dinesh Chandimal is backed to top score for the visitors.
