South Africa hosted Sri Lanka for a 2-match Test series beginning from Boxing Day and played in Centurion and Johannesburg. Hosts dominated Sri Lanka in both the games where they managed to score aplenty and had won both the games convincingly by a big margin!
The first Test match of the series was played at Super Sport Park in Centurion while the second Test match was played at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. Many milestones were made in this series including Sri Lanka’s highest total in South Africa to Faf du Plessis’ dismissal on 199!
Sri Lanka won the Test series when they toured last time to South Africa in 2019 by 2-0 but hosts recovered well this time to stage a comeback and win the Test series by 2-0. With just two matches in this tour done and dusted, both South Africa and Sri Lanka are gearing up for their future assignments.
