SL vs SA Dream11: Sri Lanka will face South Africa in another white-ball leg at home after hosting Team India. The series, which will consist of three ODIs and as many T20Is, will begin on September 2. The R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo will host all six games. On September 14, the third T20I will bring the leg to a close.

Both sides have been on the wane in recent years. Sri Lanka will once again be missing some key stars through injury. On the other hand, South Africa will be without Quinton de Kock, David Miller, and Lungi Ngidi.

Fernando was in fine nick versus the Indians in the past ODI series. He had scored two half-centuries and a 33 to his name. Sri Lanka would be hoping he can get them a good start.

Dhananjaya de Silva

In a brittle-looking Sri Lankan middle order, Dhananjaya provides calm and composure. He took the side home twice versus India. He can bowl some handy off spin too.
