SA vs SL only T20 Dream11 Team Prediction and Probable XI: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for South Africa vs Sri Lanka only T20 match. We are covering SA vs SL T20 Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI. The match is to be played at R.Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.

Tomorrow South Africa and Sri Lanka will face in the only T20 of the series to wind up the tour which has been a real exciting one and momentum kept on shifting throughout the tour. Sri Lanka firstly won the Test Series in a dominating manner but as the ODI Series started South Africa showed its true form and won first three ODI’s easily but again Sri Lanka won the last two ODI’s and will be boosted with confidence for the final chapter of the tour.

South Africa lost badly in last ODI and were once again destroyed by Akila Dananjaya’s spin. However, They would hope for a good performance by their players to end series on a good note.

Sri Lanka will hope to capitalize on momentum and use their main weapon of spin again on the spin friendly pitch of Colombo.

An exciting T20 match can be expected as it is a virtual tour decider and both teams will come all guns blazing in the final encounter of the tour.
