I agree with you. They are the favorites to win. In the first test they had a record partnership between Sangakkara and Jayawardene, they are a very dangerous team for the World Cup also.

Yeah or no can't tell. South Africa is still batting in their 2nd innings & have 1 wicket left with Ntini & Boucher on crease. The lead has crossed 325 and it is now between 340-350 with 1 wicket in hand.
No eyes for a draw yet. But South Africans have Pollock, Steyn & Ntini which can help Sri Lanka to be bowled out by day 4.
But Sri Lanka can lead the resistence with top-form players like Mahela Jayawardene, Sanath Jayasuriya, Kumar Sangakarra & also otherz like Kapugedara, Vaas who atleast score above 30 to help Sri Lanka.
Ntini & Steyn are good bowlers & both have a good seam position which can help South Africa a lot. But still there's a 50-50 chance.
South Africa will get lucky only if they get the biggies, sanath & lankan skipper jayawardene, very fast without adding much runs.

Past 10 year you see the histry of the home series of srilankan cricket, they really good against any team 9excluding Australia).
So, they will surely clinch the series
