The South African bowling numbers are slightly favourable due to the fact that since 2018, they haven't played Australia, England (once- not the best Test team) and NZ. And SL are playing at favourable conditions at Durban and Gqeberha, which are traditionally slower wickets and where SL had also won the 2019 series in, with a sort of raw pace attack

Those things all work in SL's favor for sure, as does Bavuma's claim that these will be sporting wickets. But I am always of counting out South Africa's bowling at home.
