SA vs SL Toss Prediction
The pitch at the SuperSport Park is expected to get relatively better for batting during the second period of play. And also since four of the last six one-day internationals played at this ground have been won by the side batting second, the toss-winning skipper will probably opt to chase here.

South Africa Team News & Playing 11
SA Team News
South Africa, despite having registered a clinical win in the first ODI, could make a couple of changes to their side for this second match in order to finalize their squad for this year's World Cup. Kagiso Rabada could be given a breather and Dale Steyn could come into the playing eleven in his place while Dwaine Pretorius could be dropped for Andile Phehlukwayo. Fast bowler Anrich Nortje performed well on his international debut and he is likely to be retained for this game.
SA Key Players
Quinton de Kock and Faf du Plessis starred with the bat for South Africa in the first ODI with knocks of 81 and 112 not-out respectively. They made short work of Sri Lanka's total of 231 and the hosts will be expecting another strong performance from them. de Kock has four centuries from eight ODIs at the SuperSport Park which makes him the key man for the Proteas. Rassie van der Dussen and David Miller are the reliable batsmen in this middle order. Dale Steyn could be given a game here if the hosts decide to rest Kagiso Rabada. Steyn is one of the leading wicket-takers at this ground in ODIs with 24 wickets in 13 matches and he will pose a big threat to the Sri Lankan batsmen. Lungi Ngidi and Imran Tahir took three wickets apiece last time and South Africa will back these two to come good with the ball once again.
SA Recent Form
South Africa have now won nine of their last twelve one-day internationals and four out of the six they have played so far this year. The Proteas came into this series on the back of a 3-2 victory over Pakistan at home and that was their fourth consecutive bilateral ODI series win. They put out a clinical performance in the opening ODI of the ongoing SA vs SL ODI series where their bowlers set up the game for them by bundling the visitors out for 231.
South Africa Predicted Playing 11
Reeza Hendricks, Quinton de Kock (wk), Faf du Plessis (c), Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Dwaine Pretorius/Andile Phehlukwayo, Kagiso Rabada/Dale Steyn, Anrich Nortje, Imran Tahir, Lungi Ngidi
Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
SL Team News
Sri Lanka might consider bringing left-arm pacer Isuru Udana in place of chinaman Lakshan Sandakan for the second ODI as the pitch at Centurion is not known for offering much assistance to the spinners. Except for this one change, the rest of their line-up is expected to remain unchanged. Oshada Fernando made his ODI debut in the last game and his decent effort with the bat means that he will probably be given another opportunity.
SL Key Players
Kusal Mendis, Kusal Perera and Upul Tharanga are the key figures in Sri Lanka's batting group. Mendis top-scored for the team with 60 in the first ODI and he will be expected to make another healthy contribution and help his side level the series. Perera has been in fine form throughout this tour while Tharanga has scored the most runs for Sri Lanka in ODIs from the current squad. The bowlers looked flat last time out and the visitors will be hoping that likes of Lasith Malinga, Vishwa Fernando and Thisara Perera are able to deliver the goods for them on Wednesday. Malinga is the most experienced bowler in this line-up and the veteran has 318 ODI wickets to his name. Thisara is also amongst the team's best ODI bowlers and he could pick up a wicket or two in this game. Fernando removed Reeza Hendricks in the second over and the left-arm pacer will look to strike early again with the new ball.
SL Recent Form
Sri Lanka's recent form in the game's fifty-over format has been very poor. They have managed to win just one of their last ten completed one-day internationals and have lost all four that they have played this year. The Lankans have faced defeats in each of their previous four ODI series, the most recent of them being a 0-3 whitewash against New Zealand earlier this year in January. Sri Lanka would have been very disappointed with their batting performance in the last game.
Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11
Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Upul Tharanga, Kusal Perera, Oshada Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva, Thisara Perera, Akila Dananjaya, Lasith Malinga (c), Lakshan Sandakan/Isuru Udana, Vishwa Fernando

South Africa vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds
South Africa are firm favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this second one-day international. The hosts are being offered at very short odds of 1.24 on Betrally and 1.28 on both Betway and Bet365. Sri Lanka find themselves as distant outsiders for this game at 3.40 on Betway, 3.75 on Bet365 and 3.45 on Betrally.
🏆 South Africa vs Sri Lanka Prediction
South Africa, after being stunned in the test series, bounced back to inflict a heavy defeat on Sri Lanka in the first one-day international. Pressure is now on the touring side who are trailing 0-1 in the series and they will look to pick themselves up and shrug off the disappointment from the last game. But beating the hosts at this venue won't be easy as they have fared pretty well here in ODIs in the recent past. While the Proteas have won seven of their last nine completed matches here, the visitors have lost four out of the five they have played at this ground. South Africa dominated Sri Lanka in their last ODI clash here and we expect them to emerge victorious again when these two teams face-off on Wednesday.
