The second Test between South Africa and Sri Lanka will begin on Thursday, December 5, at St. George's Park in Gqeberha. South Africa are currently leading the series 1-0 after a dominant victory in Durban. The first innings was tough for both teams, but Sri Lanka faced a massive collapse, thanks to Marco Jansen's incredible 7-wicket performance, which led to them being dismissed for just 42 runs.

In response, South Africa's Temba Bavuma and Tristan Stubbs scored centuries in the second innings, helping the team set a big total of 366. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, could only manage 282 runs in their second innings, and South Africa won the match by a massive margin of 233 runs.

Now, South Africa will be looking to secure another win to get closer to a spot in the World Test Championship final, with a series against Pakistan coming up soon.
