Sri Lanka will lock horns with South Africa in the opening T20I of the three-match series at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, on Friday, 10 September. Sri Lanka will be high on confidence after winning the ODI series by 2-1.
But this will be an altogether different challenge, as the South Africa batting unit will be bolstered by the comeback of Quinton de Kock. Keshav Maharaj will be the captain in the absence of Temba Bavuma. Rassie van der Dussen, Heinrich Klassen and David Miller will form the crux of the middle order.
The likes of Wanindu Hasaranga, Charith Asalanka and Dushmantha Chameera will play key roles for Sri Lanka. Kusal Perera is likely to walk into the playing XI. The opening pair of Kusal Perera and Avishka Fernando will be followed by Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva and Dasun Shanaka.
