The South African cricket team has made its home an impenetrable fortress. Teams from all over the world come here with the desire to win, but when they go back, they have to go back defeated. Now something similar has happened with the Sri Lankan team. There was a two-match Test series between the two teams, in which South Africa has completely defeated Sri Lanka. The big thing is that now the South African team has come to the forefront in the race for the World Test Championship final. But it has yet to cross one hurdle.
Since 2020, South Africa has lost two Tests at home.
You might be surprised to know that the South African team has played a total of 13 Test matches at home since December 2020. Out of this, the team has won 11 matches and has lost only two. Both these defeats have been given to it by Team India. That is, all the other big teams have had to leave here after losing. Meanwhile, now the Pakistani team is going to tour South Africa. This will be the last series of these two teams in the World Test Championship. The teams have also started their preparations for this. It will be a very difficult task for Pakistan to break through the South Africa Chakravyuh. Even more so when the Pakistani team is not able to perform well these days.
A two-Test match series will be played between South Africa and Pakistan.
The Test series between Pakistan and South Africa will stardom on December 26, but its discussion has started already. The reason for this is that South Africa’s team has to win only one match from here to reach the final of the ICC World Test Championship. If the team wins one match, then no one can stop them from playing the final again. The team has already reached the top by leaving India and Australia behind. Along with South Africa’s captain Temba Bavuma, the rest of the team is also looking in full form and is fully prepared to crush Pakistan.
The race for the WTC Final has become very interesting.
The Pakistani team is already out of the race for the final of the World Test Championship. Therefore, its win or loss will not have any impact. Now only four teams are broadly left in the race for the final. Apart from India, Australi, and South Africa, the fourth name in this is Sri Lanka. Although Sri Lanka’s chances are very low, but still the team is alive in the race. The third Test against Australia is very important for India, whichever team wins this match will come closer to the WTC final.
