Sri Lanka have qualified for the ICC World Test Championship final after a convincing 2-0 series victory over South Africa at home. This marks the first time Sri Lanka will compete in the WTC final, scheduled to be held at Lord’s in June.
The Decisive Moment
The second Test in Galle saw Sri Lanka bowl out South Africa for 187 in the fourth innings, sealing the match by 164 runs and confirming their spot in the final.
Spinners dominated throughout the series, with the slow bowlers accounting for 32 of the 40 wickets taken in the two matches.
What’s Next
Sri Lanka will face either India or Australia in the final, with that matchup to be determined by the outcome of ongoing series. The team now has two months to prepare for what could be a historic moment in Sri Lankan cricket.
