Remaining matches: South Africa (away, Two Tests), Australia (home, two Tests) Best Possible Finish: 69.23% A head-turning victory over England in the third Test in England means Sri Lanka could still make a push for a World Test Championship Final berth with three more wins from their remaining four Tests.
Their task will be difficult, with two Tests scheduled in South Africa at the end of November and a further two-match series at home against reigning champions Australia in 2025.
Kamindu Mendis’ stunning start to his Test career has helped the Sri Lankan side, averaging 94.30 in his first 12 innings in the competition. With the ball, Prabath Jayasuriya will remain the key, particularly in the final series on home soil.
If Sri Lanka can pinch one victory in South Africa, it could lead to a grandstand finish on home soil with the top two spots potentially still to be decided in the final series of the cycle.
