The South African side is all set to turn their fortunes against Sri Lanka as the two sides are set to lock horns for the second Test and final match slated to commence from December 5 at St George's Oval, Gqeberha, in Port Elizabeth. The hosts have won the series opener and will be looking to win the second and final Test match to wrap the series against the Lanka Lions to hold the strong spot to make it to the 2025 World Test Championship Finals. On the other hand, Dhananjaya de Silva and his men must be keen to spoil the Proteas party to make it to the WTC final as well as to win this match to avoid a shambolic series defeat.
Coming to the series opener, Temba Bavuma and his men wrapped up a landslide 233-run win over the Islanders to take a 1-0 lead. The visitors were set an improbable 516-run target and started Day 4 in a deep hole at 103/5, making them bundled out for 282 runs. Left-arm quick Marco Jansen, who earlier crushed visitors for a record-low 42 runs, continued his form, claiming four wickets in the second innings to guide his side to a 1-0 lead at Kingsmead in Durban.
With the South African team now sitting at the second spot and just behind Team India in the WTC points table, it will put additional pressure on Team India's chances. The win in this Test match might topple Rohit Sharma and his men, who are currently leading the charts.

Temba Bavuma SA | BAT
South African skipper Temba Bavuma was magnificent in the series opening game. The stylish right-handed batter has made an incredible 70 and 113 runs in the first and second innings, respectively and played a huge role in guiding his side to win the first Test match. The Proteas star batter will be stepping up in this game to seal the series against Lanka Lions. One must go for him as a captaincy pick in your Dream 11 team due to his form with bat.
Marco Jansen SA | ALL
The left-arm pacer picked up seven wickets in the first innings of the opening Test match and crushed the visitors for just 42 runs. In addition, the star seamer picked up 4 wickets in the second innings of the game and played a huge role in dismantling the Sri Lanka batting unit. Jansen was Player of the Match in the series opener. The Proteas star all-rounder will be stepping up in this game as well to mark a whitewash against strong visitors. In addition, his performance with the bat as well can boost your fantasy points.
Dhananjaya de Silva SL | ALL
The Sri Lankan captain has made 7 and 59 runs in the first Test match which wasn't enough to guide his side to win against South African side.
