SA vs SL Fantasy Tips

• Pathirana has picked up 15 wickets already in 10 matches and will spearhead the attack for SL.
• Samarawickrama was also in great form in the recent Asia Cup and can be a great budget pick for the team. He has scored 615 runs in 22 matches so far in his career.
• Quinton de Kock has scored 45, 11, 8 and 9 in his previous four ODI matches. However he can be backed to do well in this match given his ODI career record.
• Klassen is an aggressive batter and smashed 174 recently against Australia
• Rabada has led the pace attack for South Africa and has scalped as many as 144 wickets in 92 matches. He can be handy with the bat as well.
• Dasun Shanaka struggled a lot in this format recently and is batting lower down the order. Hence avoid him for this match.
• Charith Asalanka has scored a couple of half centuries in the Asia Cup and will be a top pick.
• Phelukwayo will be batting lower down the order and is the sixth bowling option. Hence avoid him for this match.
• David Miller can be left out of the team if South Africa are chasing as the target might not be big enough for him to have an impact.

Who will win South Africa vs Sri Lanka today match?

• South Africa are expected to win this match
• South Africa holds the edge in these matches, having won 4 out of 6. One game was tied and one was won by Sri Lanka.
