The Proteas are two from two at the Cricket World Cup in New Zealand, with Friday's thrilling six-run victory over Pakistan the next positive step on their journey to the semi-finals.
India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja could achieve a huge personal milestone when India face Sri Lanka in the second Test (D/N), starting at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday. Jadeja, who will be playing his 59th Test for India, is just nine wickets away from completing 250 wickets in the longest format of the game.

Virat Kohli would hope for a turnaround at his 'spiritual home' when India take on an under-prepared Sri Lanka in the second Test, with the action unfolding under flood lights from Saturday. Interestingly, the last time Kohli reached a three-figure mark, it was a 'Pink Ball' game in which India thrashed Bangladesh by an innings and 46 runs in Kolkata, back in November 2019. He had scored 136 back then. The former India skipper has taken strike in 28 innings since then but a Test hundred has remained elusive. The 33-year-old has got a 50-plus score only six times with highest being a knock of 79 against South Africa in Cape Town in January this year.
Ross Taylor will look to exit COVID-19 isolation and play straight back into form in warmup matches against the Netherlands before bidding farewell to cricket in the following ODI series. Ruled out of a first class game for the Central Stags as a close contact of a COVID-19 case, the 38-year-old will instead play white ball matches for a developing New Zealand XI at McLean Park in Napier from next week. "It'd be nice to have got in there and played for the Staggies," he said in a video call from home. "But to play some white-ball cricket with a higher intensity, I think it’s ideal preparation. "It's a great opportunity to see the Netherlands side up close and obviously there's a few Kiwi connections to them as well."
