Sri Lanka return to international cricket after the COVID-19 halt as they take on South Africa in the first Test of the two-match series. The Boxing-Day Test match gets underway on December 26 at the SuperSport Park in Centurion. Although the Proteas side is being backed as favourites, Sri Lanka have pleasent memories from their last Test assignment in the rainbow nation where they emerged victorious 2-0. However, both teams haven’t been great in Test cricket lately and would be raring to start the series with a win.

With veterans like skipper Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis, Temba Bavuma and Dean Elgar in the team, South Africa have a potent batting line-up which is expected to come good in Centurion. However, the hosts will miss services of their ace pacer Kagiso Rabada who’s out of the fixture with a groin strain. Anrich Nortje and Lungi Ngidi will have to step up in his absence.

On the other hand, the visitors will miss veteran all-rounder Angelo Mathews and Suranga Lakmal. Skipper Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis will have the onus to deliver. As the game gets lined-up, let’s look at the streaming and other details.
