Sri Lanka and South Africa will be clash in the first ODI of the three-match series at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, on Thursday, 2 September. The ICC World Cup Super League points are at stake for both sides.
Sri Lanka had lost their last four ODI series, most recently against India. They will be boosted by the return of Dinesh Chandimal. Kusal Perera has recovered from the Covid-19, but is unlikely to play the opening ODI. Minod Bhanuka and Bhanuka Rajapaksa are likely to retain their places.
South Africa, on the other hand, will miss some key players. Quinton de Kock will not feature in the ODIs, David Miller is injured, and Lungi Ngidi withdrew due to personal reasons.
