SL vs SAY Match Preview:
SL vs SA: On Thursday, September 2, Sri Lanka will face South Africa in the first match of the ODI series at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
Sri Lanka is coming out of a loss against India in their last ODI series, but they got back into the rhythm after being 2-0 down in the series and winning the last match. They looked in a solid shape to defeat India and were easily able to do so. In fact, they were able to pull off a victory in the T20 games. Their confidence will be very high going in to face South Africa.
South Africa is not the team that they once were, they have not had a huge impact on the game in the past few years. They have quality players but have not been able to reach their complete potential. They tied their last ODI series against Ireland, and do not kook too high on confidence. A win in this series will be crucial to them now more than ever.

Pitch Report
The wicket will be a typical slow wicket because of the moisture in the air. The batsmen will require some time to settle in, and the spinners will have some assistance. A score of 250 will be a good total to defend. The team winning the toss would want to bat first and defend later on as the wicket will become slower as the game moves ahead.

Top Picks for Today SL vs SA Match:
Heinrich Klaasen- Klaasen is a good keeper and is handy with the bat too. He can change gears at any point, which is what can be expected from a middle-order batsman. If need be, he can finish off games as well.
Rassie van der Dussen- A promising talent who has often shown his match-winning abilities but has never been very consistent. This series will be very important to him going into the T20 World Cup later this year.
Wanindu Hasaranga- He has been the talk of the town since the series against India. Based on his all-around performance in that series, he has been picked in the IPL. In this series, the wicket will favor him and he will have to continue his form.
Kagiso Rabada- Rabad produces genuine pace, and these conditions might not suit him well. But the conditions would not bother him that much, he should be able to extract some wickets now and then.
