Sri Lankan cricket team in South Africa in 1997–98
The Sri Lankan cricket team toured South Africa during the 1997–98 season, playing two Tests from 19 to 30 March 1998. Prior to the series, Sri Lanka had toured South Africa in the 1994–95 season, playing only One Day Internationals in the Mandela Trophy. This was therefore the first Test series between the two in South Africa. The Test series was followed by a triangular One-Day tournament, which included Pakistan as the third team. Sri Lanka were excluded at the group stage, having won as many matches as Pakistan, but having a worse head-to-head record against them.
