Sri Lanka is all set to host South Africa in the upcoming limited-overs series, starting from September 02 in Colombo. The white-ball tour consists of three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and as many T20 Internationals (T20Is).

The limited-overs series will start with ODI fixtures scheduled to take place on September 02, 04 and 07. Similarly, the T20I matches will be played on September 10, 12 and 14.

The ODI, as well as the T20I series, will be crucial for both the team as ODI fixtures are part of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League, whereas T20Is will help them prepare more for the upcoming T20 World Cup, scheduled to begin in October.

Experienced campaigner Dinesh Chandimal has been recalled to the Sri Lanka squad, while Kusal Perera, who recently finished his isolation after testing positive for COVID-19, is also part of the outfit.

However, the visitors will miss the trio of Quinton de Kock (rested), David Miller (hamstring injury) and Lungi Ngidi (personal reasons) in the three-match ODI series. But they will be available for T20I games.
