SL vs SA Tips, Stats & Team for Today Match Prediction
Match: SL vs SA T20 Match Prediction
Time: 12 September, 07:00 PM (IST)
Venue: R. Premadasa Stadium – Colombo, Sri Lanka
Info:
- Opener Dinesh Chandimal top scored for Sri Lanka in the opening game with 66 not out from 54 balls. He is a strong choice for their highest run scorer in this game. With the ball, Wanindu Hasaranga led the attack with 2-23 from 4 overs and is our recommendation for Sri Lanka’s top wicket taker in the second IT20.
- Aiden Markram hit 48 from 33 balls for South Africa from number three in the order. He is our tip for their highest run scorer in this clash. Captain Keshav Maharaj returned the best figures of 1-19 in the opening game and is well worth backing as South Africa’s top wicket taker in this match.
- Spinners are always the key players in Colombo and we expect Wanindu Hasaranga and Keshav Maharaj to be the top players on either side in Sunday’s game. We predict Maharaj to take the Player of The Match Award.

Team News:
SL Team News:
The home side gave an IT20 debut to off-spinner Makeesh Theekshana who took the wicket of Heinrich Klaasen in Friday’s match. Dinesh Chandimal impressed at the top of the order and with the gloves. We expect to see the same XI on show in this match.
SA Team News:
Friday’s win was a real team effort with no player hitting a half-century and five different players all picking up wickets. Kagiso Rabada the only South African who bowled to go wicketless. It was a convincing win and we expect to see no changes in the South Africa XI.

Who will win today match: SL vs SA T20 Match Match Fantasy Team
South Africa produced the more rounded team performance in Colombo on Friday and we expect them to do the same in the second IT20. Wanindu Hasaranga will no doubt cause problems again but we are backing South Africa’s stronger batting depth to be the difference as they take an unassailable 2-0 lead.
SL Key Players:
Dinesh Chandimal:
The experienced keeper-batsman hit his highest IT20 score of 66 not out on Friday. It was the sixth time he has gone beyond 50 in this format.
Charith Asalanka:
The impressive international newcomer made only 6 in the opening game but has been in fantastic form since his debut in England a couple of months ago.
Wanindu Hasaranga:
As expected, the leg-spinner caused the South African batters constant problems, took wickets and kept the run-rate down to a healthy amount.
SA Key Players:
Quinton de Kock:
The left-handed wicket-keeper batsman got his side off to a solid start with 36 from 32 balls including 4 boundaries.
David Miller:
The middle-order batsman lived up to his reputation with the best strike-rate on his side on Friday, He hit 26 from 15 balls in his innings.
Keshav Maharaj:
The stand-in skipper added a win to his CV and not only led the side but returned the best bowling figures of the team.

- After successive wins over India to win the last series, Friday’s defeat ends that little run. However, they are in good form and have progressed as a team over recent months.

Top Team Batsmens:
Dinesh Chandimal, Avishka Fernando and Charith Asalanka are our tips with the bat for Sri Lanka. Chandimal hit his highest IT20 score on Friday evening.
We are backing Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram and David Miller as the top batsmen for South Africa. Markram top scored in the match with 48 in the opening game.
Top Team Bowlers:
With the ball, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana and Dushmantha Chameera are our top picks for Sri Lanka. Hasaranga will be the main threat in this game once again.
For South Africa we recommend Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj with the ball. Although the pitch is not perfect for Rabada and he went wicketless we expect that to change in this game.
