  • South Africa have won their last three men’s Tests against Sri Lanka despite losing the toss on each occasion; they will be looking to win four matches in a row against Sri Lanka for the second time in the history of this fixture, and the first time since November 2002.
  • Sri Lanka lost the opening match of the ongoing series by 233 runs, snapping a three-game winning streak; however, they have still won 67% of their matches since the start of 2024, tied for the best rate with teams that have played at least three matches (Australia and India – also 67%).
  • South Africa have won 10 of their last 12 men’s Tests in South Africa (L2), with both losses occurring against India (January 2024 and December 2021); their last home loss to another country was against England in January 2020.
  • South Africa have lost two of their last three matches at St. George’s Park but won their last match at the venue by 332 runs against Bangladesh (April 2022); they were undefeated in six matches at the venue prior to that span (W5 D1).
  • South Africa and Sri Lanka have only had one player each dismissed as stumped in men’s Tests since the start of 2024, equal lowest with Australia.
  • Sri Lanka bowlers have induced a play-and-miss on over than 11% of deliveries in three of their last four men’s Tests, as many as they managed in their last 15 matches prior to that span.
  • Temba Bavuma has scored 488 runs at an average of 69.7 in his last four men’s Tests in which he has batted including a total of 183 runs in the first match of the ongoing series, the most of any player; however, his batting average of 26.1 against Sri Lanka is his lowest against any country.
  • Dinesh Chandimal (5946) is 54 runs away from becoming the seventh player to score 6000 runs in men’s Tests for Sri Lanka; his batting average of 27.1 against South Africa is the lowest against any team in which he has played at least four matches.
  • Kagiso Rabada has taken 29 wickets at an average of 15.7 in men’s Tests since the start of 2024, the most of any South Africa bowler; only Australia’s Josh Hazlewood (34 wickets at 13.4) and India’s Jasprit Bumrah (49 wickets at 15.2) have a better average among bowlers to have taken more than 20 wickets.
  • Lahiru Kumara (99) is one wicket away from becoming the ninth player to take 100 wickets for Sri Lanka in men’s Tests; he has taken 87 of these wickets in matches outside of Sri Lanka.
