The Proteas wrapped up the final five Sri Lankan wickets during the morning session on the fifth day, sealing an 85-run victory in the second Test at St George’s Park in Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth). This win secured a 2-0 series sweep following their triumph in Durban. Chasing a target of 348, Sri Lanka resumed the day at 205 for five, still with hopes of leveling the series. However, spinner Keshav Maharaj delivered a stellar performance, claiming a five-wicket haul with figures of 5-76, leading the Proteas to victory.
