This team will now get trapped in the maze of South Africa
The South African cricket team has made its home an impenetrable fort. Teams from all over the world come here with the desire to win, but when they go back, they have to leave after losing. 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 completely wiped out Sri Lanka. The big thing is that now the South African team has gone ahead in the race for the World Test Championship final. But he has one hurdle to overcome.
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 these, the team has won 11 matches and has faced defeat in only two. Team India has given him both these defeats. That means all the other big teams had to leave after losing here. 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 penetrate the South African maze. Even more so when the Pakistani team is not performing well these days.
Two test match series will be played between South Africa and Pakistan
Although the Test series between Pakistan and South Africa will start from December 26, the discussion about it has already started. The reason for this is that the South African team has to win only one match from here to reach the final of the ICC World Test Championship. If the team wins a match then no one can stop it from playing the final again. Recently the team has reached the top leaving behind India and Australia. Along with South African captain Temba Bavuma, the rest of the team also seems to be 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 his victory or defeat will not have any impact. Now only four teams are left in the race for the finals. Apart from India, Australia and South Africa, the fourth name in this is Sri Lanka. Although Sri Lanka’s chances are very less, 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 get closer to the WTC final.
