South Africa vs Sri Lanka 2nd Test Playing 11, live timing and streaming

After a dramatic first Test in Durban, which saw Sri Lanka record their lowest Test score of 42, the hosts, South Africa, are now ready to host the Lankan Lions in the second Test of the two-match series at St George's Park in Gqeberha from Thursday, December 5. Proteas captain Temba Bavuma won the toss on Thursday and elected to bat first against Sri Lanka. 

South Africa vs Sri Lanka Playing 11 for 2nd Test:

 

South Africa Playing 11: Aiden Markram, Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs, Temba Bavuma(c), David Bedingham, Ryan Rickelton, Kyle Verreynne(w), Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Dane Paterson

 

Sri Lanka Playing 11: Dimuth Karunaratne, Pathum Nissanka, Dinesh Chandimal, Angelo Mathews, Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva(c), Kusal Mendis(w), Prabath Jayasuriya, Vishwa Fernando, Asitha Fernando, Lahiru Kumara

 

The match will have a serious impact on the points table of the World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle, as both teams need to win this game to keep their hopes for qualification to the final alive. The Proteas won the first Test by 233 runs, thanks to pacer Marco Jansen’s sensational performance, and jumped two spots to number two, replacing Australia, who lost their first game of the series against India in Perth.

 

On the other hand, another contender for the WTC final spot, New Zealand, not only lost their game against England but were also docked three penalty points, increasing the chances of South Africa even further. The Proteas still have three more games to play in the ongoing WTC cycle, and if they manage to win all three, they will qualify for the final for the first time.

 

However, Sri Lanka will not let their path be that easy, as they are also still in the hunt for WTC final qualification and will do whatever they can to prevent the hosts from running riot in Gqeberha and boost their own chances in the WTC final race.
