Team Analysis
The most obvious strength in the South African squad is their superior bowling order, which provides their team with early breakthroughs in the form of quick wickets and instills a middle order collapse in the opposing team’s batting line-up. The classy duo comprising Marco Jensen and Geralt Coeetzee deserves special praise for their phenomenal spells in the 1st test. Marco took home 11 wickets in the previous match and snatched the man of the match award as well. Cricket analysts and enthusiasts expect Marco’s phenomenal form to continue in this 2nd and the last game as well.
The Proteas skipper, Tempa Bavuma is in his stellar form and his ability to provide an anchoring role helps the rest of the batsmen adopt a more fierce form of play, which helps immensely in piling up runs to set a big target on the scoreboard. Bavuma is accompanied by other talented stars named Aiden Markram and Tristan Stubbs in the batting order. Together, these players can punish the Sri Lankan bowlers.
Poor batting order with minimal experience is the main weakness in the Sri Lankan squad. The Sri Lankan openers seemed very timid and hesitant from the very start of the batting innings and this unsure attitude led to an inevitable batting order collapse as was seen in the 1st match where the entire Sri Lankan team was bowled out at just 42 runs in the 1st batting innings. However, players like Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, and Angelo Mathews not only have immense experience, but these stars are notoriously known to form lengthy partnerships.
Match Insights And Conclusion
