SL tour of SA, Dec 18 - Feb 10

[dan08]

I assume this game doesn't still count as an international T20 fixture?

Of course it does. Any match over 5 overs counts in T20.

[mikesiva]

South africa win the 10 over thrash by 19 runs. I hate when rain reduces a t20s match.

[The Professor]

Angelo Matthews out. I'd bring in Tharanga to open and drop Da Silva to 4. Could also call in Kusal Perera for direct replacement.

[mikesiva]

Sandakan and Matthews....

Sri Lanka's first win on the tour.

[Making_Splinters]

South Africa have announced their ODI squad:

AB de Villiers (capt), Hashim Amla, Farhaan Behardien, Quinton de Kock, JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, David Miller, Chris Morris, Wayne Parnell, Lungi Ngidi, Andile Phehlukwayo, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi

ABD back in todays team.

[andy]

SA going along well 71-1 in the 9th

[The Professor]

Terrible fielding for South Africa today.

Poor performances in the field seems to be a theme of 2017 thus far.

[rich1uk]

not a great start for SL in the first ODI

14-2 after just 19 deliveries, parnell taking both wickets

[rich1uk]

SL had a bit of a recovery going, albeit a bit pedestrian, but a couple of quicket wickets from Tahir has got them back in trouble, especially with Mendis gone.

a poor run rate and without a huge amount of batting depth they are going to struggle to get to 200 here

[Arthur Crabtree]

Immense looking batting line up for SA too.

[Arthur Crabtree]

What a remarkable limited overs bowler Tahir is. One of the few great ones around.

[rich1uk]

What a remarkable limited overs bowler Tahir is. One of the few great ones around.

its weird that he wasn't able to translate it into the test arena

[meninblue]

SL struggling with 5 down.

[rich1uk]

all too easy for SA today
