South Africa captain Temba Bavuma worked wonders. He scored a brilliant century in the Test match against Sri Lanka. His partner Tristan Stubbs also scored a goal as South Africa never lost a match again. Now it remains to be seen whether Sri Lanka will stage a comeback or surrender after a first-innings rout. Meanwhile, Temba Bavuma also equaled the achievements of two former captains of the country.
Third South Africa captain scores Test century against Sri Lanka
Only two South Africa captains have been able to score a hundred against Sri Lanka in a Test match so far and now a third name, Temba Bavuma, has joined them. First, in 2011, Sean Pollock had a brilliant game of 111 as captain against Sri Lanka. 17 years later, in 2014, Hashim Amla, as captain, managed to score an unbeaten 139 runs in Colombo, Sri Lanka. But the past decade has been marked by drought. It was over now, with Temba Bavuma scoring a brilliant century in Durban to equal the score between the two captains. There are only three names on this list, which could explain why this century is so important.
First Tristan Stubbs and then Bavuma completed his century.
Temba Bavuma is also supported by the conman Stubbs. Specially, Stubbs was the first to complete his century and soon after, Tamba also reached this special milestone. This is the first time since 2017 that two South African batsmen have scored hundreds against Sri Lanka. South Africa have become so formidable due to the duo’s special batting partnership that beating them from here is now almost impossible.
Sri Lanka achieve lowest Test result of the game
If we talk about this match, South Africa batted first in the match. The team scored only 191 runs in the first innings. This also drew criticism from the team. But after that, the Sri Lankan team that came on could only score 42 points. This is also Sri Lanka’s lowest score in Test cricket. South Africa led the match despite scoring only 191 runs. After that, the team scored a big score in the second game. As of now, South Africa’s lead has exceeded 400 points and is now crossing 500 points.
