With multiple series still to be played ahead of next year's final, including a two-match series between SA and Pakistan starting next month, various teams are still in the hunt.

Needing to beat Sri Lanka to keep their hopes alive, Conrad said this was one of the SA team's focal points ahead of a two-match Test series against the tourists starting in Durban next week.
