SA vs SL 1st Test: South Africa and Sri Lanka will start off their two-match Test series at the Kingsmead Stadium in Durban on Wednesday.

South Africa will be coming into what would be a hectic few months of cricket for them, after a huge loss to India in the recently concluded T20I series. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will be looking to earn a few valuable points in the World Test Championship (WTC) and do everything they can in order to earn the spot in the WTC Finals. They will also be keeping a close eye on India’s performance in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, as their performance also would play a huge role on Sri Lanka’s qualification scenario.

Sri Lanka still remains the only Asian team to win a series against South Africa on the proteas’ home soil, and will look to further that record by doing it twice. They will have a stronger chance of qualifying for the WTC finals should they clean sweep South Africa this series

When and where to watch: The first Test between South Africa and Sri Lanka will be played in Durban from November 27, Wednesday, with the match set to kick off at 1:00 PM IST.

The South Africa vs Sri Lanka first Test will be telecast on Sports18 on TV, and will be streamed Live on JioCinema website and application.
