SL vs SA 2nd ODI Match Preview
The 3-Match ODI series between Sri Lanka and South Africa kicked off on Thursday, September 2 on high with hosts defeating visitors by 14 runs in the first match of the series.
Sri Lanka will be looking to take an unassailable lead over South Africa when both teams will square off for the second one day international on Saturday in Colombo.
Talking about 1st ODI, Sri Lanka opted to bat first and posted a good total of 300/9 on the back of Avishka Fernando’s 118 off 115 and Asalanka’s 72 off 62 deliveries. Coming to chase, South Africa could only manage 286/6 despite Aiden Markram’s 96 and R van der Dussen’s 59 and fell short by 14 runs.
Also, Keshav Maharaj will now lead South Africa in the remainder of the ODI series as the main skipper Temba Bavuma has been ruled out of the white ball series with a fractured right thumb.
Maharaj was one of the best bowlers for South Africans in the series opener as he returned with figures of 2/30 in his ten-over spell while their main pacers Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortrje looked out of touch as they finished with an economy of 7.30 and 6.90 respectively. While Rabada did strike twice, Nortje didn’t have any wickets under his belt.

Pitch Report
The surface is on the slower side and the spinners will play a major role in the middle overs to put breaks to the run-flow, and the varying pace makes quick bowlers more effective. It’s a 270-300 kind of a wicket and bowling first is a good option.
