Temba Bavuma did wonders, got his name written in the list of Shaun Pollock and Hashim Amla
Temba Bavuma did wonders
South African captain Temba Bavuma did wonders. He has scored a brilliant century in the test match being played against Sri Lanka. His partner Tristan Stubbs has also made it so sure by scoring a century that the South African team can no longer lose the match from here. Now it remains to be seen whether the Sri Lankan team makes a comeback or surrenders after being badly disintegrated in the first innings. Meanwhile, Temba Bavuma has also equaled two former captains of his country.
Third captain of South Africa to score a test century against Sri Lanka
Till now only two captains of the South African team had been able to score centuries against Sri Lanka in Tests, now the third name of Temba Bavuma has also been added to it. First of all, in the year 2011, Shaun Pollock played a brilliant inning of 111 runs as captain against Sri Lanka. Seventeen years later, in 2014, as captain, Hashim Amla had succeeded in playing an unbeaten inning of 139 runs in Colombo, Sri Lanka. But there was drought for the last ten years. Now ending it, Temba Bavuma has equalized these two captains by scoring a brilliant century in Durban. There are only three names in this list, which can explain why this century is so important.
First Tristan Stubbs and then Bavuma completed his century.
Temba Bavuma also got the support of Trickster Stubbs. The special thing is that Stubbs completed his century first and shortly after this Temba also reached that special milestone. This is the first time since 2017 that two South African batsmen have scored centuries against Sri Lanka. Due to the special batting partnership of these two, the South African team has become so strong that now it is almost impossible to beat them from here.
Sri Lanka made its lowest test score in the match
If we talk about the match, South Africa batted first in the match. The team could score only 191 runs in the first innings. This also led to criticism of the team. But after this, the Sri Lankan team, which came to bat, could score only 42 runs. This is also Sri Lanka’s smallest score in Test cricket. South Africa took the lead in the match even after scoring only 191 runs. After this, the team has posted a big score in the second innings. Till now South Africa’s lead has crossed 400 and now it is going beyond 500.
