South Africa Team News & Playing 11

SA Team News

South Africa have rested senior players Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis, Kagiso Rabada and Imran Tahir and have added Lutho Sipamla and Chris Morris along with uncapped Sinethemba Qeshile and Anrich Nortje for the final two T20Is. Aiden Markram too is uncapped in this format and is set to make his T20I debut on Friday. Hashim Amla continues to remain unavailable due to personal reasons. JP Duminy will lead the Proteas in the remaining two matches in the absence of du Plessis.

SA Key Players

South Africa, in the absence of Quinton de Kock and Faf du Plessis, will rely mainly on Reeza Hendricks, David Miller and Jean-Paul Duminy in terms of batting. Duminy is the leading run-getter at this ground in T20Is and he even has a fifty here while Miller comes next on the list with 98 runs in 6 matches. Hendricks has a couple of half-centuries in this format and he will be expected to take the Proteas off to a flying start. Andile Phehlukwayo was the standout performer with the ball last time out with figures of 3-25 from four overs and the pace bowler will be backed by the team to deliver another good performance. Chris Morris has four wickets in three T20Is at this ground and he along with veteran Dale Steyn are the others who can cause problems for the Sri Lankan batsmen.

SA Recent Form

South Africa have won six, tied one and lost four out of their last eleven T20 internationals. They came into this series on the back of last month's 2-1 home series victory over Pakistan. The hosts put out an impressive bowling display in the opening T20I of the ongoing series, restricting Sri Lanka to a sub-par 134. They will be disappointed with their batting, though, as none of their top four batsmen could go on to make a big score.

South Africa vs Sri Lanka Match Prediction

Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11

SL Team News

Sri Lanka are unlikely to make too many changes to their line-up from last time. In order to bolster their batting, they might consider giving an opportunity to Sadeera Samarawickrama in place of all-rounder Angelo Perera who did not look very comfortable against the South African quicks at Cape Town. The visitors will probably open their batting again with Niroshan Dickwella and Avishka Fernando. Sri Lanka are heading into this second T20 international with no injury concerns whatsoever.

SL Key Players

Sri Lanka will be counting on their big guns Kusal Mendis and Niroshan Dickwella to set the tone for them with the bat. Mendis, who has four half-centuries and a strike-rate of over 140 in this format, is more likely to top-score for his side in this match. Thisara Perera and Kamindu Mendis, who scored a 29-ball 41 in the first T20I, are the other two key figures in the Sri Lankan batting unit. The former has 45 T20I wickets to his name and he will have a role to play with the ball as well. The bigger threats, however, are Lasith Malinga and Akila Dananjaya. Malinga took two wickets last time while conceding only 11 runs off his four overs. He is also Sri Lanka's best bowler in the shortest format with 96 wickets in 71 matches and the onus will be on him to take wickets upfront.

SL Recent Form

Sri Lanka have four wins, five defeats and a tie from their last ten T20 internationals. Interestingly, their last win in the format had come against South Africa and that game was played at Colombo last year in August. The visitors displayed an ordinary performance with the bat in the last game at Cape Town with only one of their batsmen scoring over 20 runs. Their bowlers, however, did a good job of keeping Sri Lanka in the hunt and taking the game into the Super Over.

Sri Lanka Predicted Playing 11

Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Kamindu Mendis, Angelo Perera/Sadeera Samarawickrama, Thisara Perera, Dhananjaya de Silva, Isuru Udana, Akila Dananjaya, Lasith Malinga (c), Jeffrey Vandersay

Matches Played: 11; South Africa Won: 5; Sri Lanka Won: 5; Tie: 1

South Africa vs Sri Lanka Betting Odds

South Africa begin as the bookmakers' favorites to win this second T20 international and they are being offered at short odds of 1.36 on Bet365 and 1.33 on both Betway and Betrally. Sri Lanka are the underdogs at a much higher price of 2.90 on Betrally and 3 on both Betway and Bet365.

🏆 South Africa vs Sri Lanka Prediction

South Africa, after losing the test series 0-2, have done really well to fight back and sweep the ODI series 5-0. However, they will now be without some of their key players like Faf du Plessis, Quinton de Kock and Kagiso Rabada which should make the Sri Lankans feel a lot more optimistic. But still the hosts look stronger than their opponents as they have pretty good replacements in the form of Aiden Markram, Chris Morris and Dwaine Pretorius. The hosts may not have fared too well at this ground in T20Is of late but we expect them to come out on top in this match.
