Pitch report: Its gonna be a sporting wicket, gonna be a good challenge for the South African batters. The wind is gonna be a challenge as well. It is gonna assist the quicker bowlers early on. An area round about good length, there is a good covering of grass. It does traditionally spin here, but for the first couple of days it is gonna be for the seamers. Can feel it (the surface) is a touch soft," reckon Hashim Amla and Mike Haysman.
Teams:
Sri Lanka (Playing XI): Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Dinesh Chandimal, Kusal Mendis(w), Angelo Mathews, Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva(c), Prabath Jayasuriya, Lahiru Kumara, Asitha Fernando, Vishwa Fernando
South Africa (Playing XI): Tony de Zorzi, Aiden Markram, Tristan Stubbs, Temba Bavuma(c), David Bedingham, Kyle Verreynne(w), Wiaan Mulder, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada
Sri Lanka have won the toss and have opted to field
Win toss and bowl? The overhead conditions might lure both captains to go that route, but remember Sri Lanka won the toss both times (2011 and 2019) they won the Test at this venue.
Weather, okay?
What can we expect from the surface? Going by South Africa's eleven, one might be tempted to think that this could be a pace-friendly wicket, but hit-the-deck bowlers usually seem to enjoy greater success as compared to the ones that rely on movement in the air here.
