The Test season is on in full swing with Sri Lanka touring South Africa for a two-match Test series starting from 27 November onwards. The first Test between the two is slated to take place at the Kingsmead in Durban from 1 PM IST on Wednesday. 

Bavuma Returns To SA But Ngidi-Burger To Miss

With both teams still running for a final spot in the World Test Championship (WTC), the upcoming clash will be interesting. Coming off a dominating 2-0 win over Bangladesh, South Africa will be favourites going into the series. However, the team goes minus two key pacers, Lungi Ngidi and Nandre Burger, who have been injured. But a good news is that Temba Bavuma has recovered from an elbow injury and will lead the Proteas in this exciting clash.

Sri Lanka began their series under new head coach Sanath Jayasuriya, who saw off a 2-0 series win against New Zealand. The Lions have put out a full-strength squad which will be lead by Dhananjaya de Silva.

As the two teams, prepare to meet one another, let us take a look at the weather conditions.
