Sri Lanka takes on host South Africa in the first Test of the 2-match series in SuperSport Park, Centurion starting December 26. Here’s our Dream11 prediction for SA vs SL match today.

With a surge in Covid-19 infections in South Africa, both Tests will be played without spectators.

Neither side has played a red-ball international since January when South Africa finished in a 3-1 loss in a home series against England. While their counterparts Sri Lanka were winning a two-match series 1-0 in Zimbabwe when COVID struck.

Not to forget last time when the Lankan team visited South Africa, they created history with a shock 2-0 series win. The Asian team would be hoping to repeat that historic performance again. While Proteas will be looking to not get cornered by SL in this test series and defeat them rather convincingly.
