South Africa
South Africa lost a thriller against Srilanka in the first ODI. They were chasing 301 runs and were going steadily. 41 runs needed from 4 overs but tight bowling from Lankas helped Srilanka to go home with a 1-0 lead in the series. Africa rested Quinton de Kock for this series but the duo of Aiden Markram and Malan was brilliant in his absence. Markram scored free-flowing 96 runs and missed his maiden century by brisk in Subcontinent.
The 2nd ODI will be crucial for South Africa and they need to win this match but injury of their captain Temba Bavuma is a worrying sign. Bowlers were not at their best and conceded 300 runs which now Africa needs to rectify in order to make a comeback in the series. Only Maharaj looked threatening and was very tight with bowling whereas all other bowlers conceded at more than 6 runs per over.

Srilanka
Srilanka’s rise under Dasun Shanaka’s captaincy continued. They clinched a hard-fought victory and looked super confident in proceedings throughout the match. The series win against India has given them the much-needed confidence and they are looking like a unit filled with much confidence and ambitions. Avishka Fernando scored a blistering century and other batsmen also contributed collectively.
Srilanka will now clinch the series and another win in ICC World Cup Super League. Mickey Arthur will be happy with the overall performance but he would be wanting more from bowlers. They looked flat at one stage when Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma were going in full flow. Dushmantha Chameera looked off-color and their match-winner Hasaranga was also not up to his best.

SL vs SA– Who will win the match, Today Match Prediction:
Srilanka expected to win the match against South Africa
KhelTalk experts feel that Srilanka will again win against South Africa and seal the series. Srilanka is a favorite for this series and the last series win against India has given them new confidence and self-belief which was missing from them over the years.
In the first match, they played good cricket and looked in perfect shape. Even when Markram and Bavuma were cruising, they were very composed and followed their plans. On the other hand, South Africa showed a good fight but lost by a small margin in the last overs. African bowling looked not used to Srilankan conditions and their star spinner Shamsi was ineffective. We expect Srilanka to win the 2nd ODI against South Africa.
Popular Betting Odds For SL vs SA, 2nd ODI, Today Match Prediction, Cricket Betting Tips
Top Batsman from South Africa – Aiden Markram
Aiden Markram played some blistering shots in his powerful innings of 96 runs. Markram has improved a lot in the last couple of years and is looking to rule the International arena. Aiden was weak against spinners a few years ago and used to easily throw wickets away but now, he has developed under Quinton de Kock. He looked in supreme touch and outmuscled every bowler. Markram can give you good returns and is our pick for the best batsman from South Africa.
Top Batsman from Srilanka– Avishka Fernando
Avishka Fernando registered the 3rd century of his career in the first match. He was flawless in the first match and took on African bowlers from ball one. He has played more than 20 matches for Srilanka and is their vital member of the White-Ball setup. He is key to their batting and his starts at top of the order set the blueprint for the whole Srilankan batting lineup. Fernando has been in superb nick recently and can give you good returns. He is our pick for best batsman from Srilanka.
Top Bowler from South Africa– Tabraiz Shamsi
Tabraiz Shamsi looked off-color in the first ODI. He only picked one wicket and was very expensive according to his standards lately. Shamsi is the number one ranked T20 bowler but needs to replicate his magic in ODIs.
2021 has been magnificent for him and he has performed everywhere in the world. Srilankan conditions are tailor-made for him and suit his bowling style. The China man bowler holds the key for South Africa’s chances in this series and given his recent form, he can turn things around quickly. He is our pick for best bowler from South Africa.
Top Bowler from Srilanka – Akila Dananjaya
Akila Dananjaya is a mystery bowler who rose to International cricket in 2017 but was in and out of the team. Dhananjaya has been instrumental under Shanaka’s captaincy and always has provided him with crucial breakthroughs.
He is playing against his favorite opposition and again picked 2 wickets in the 1st match. In the last South Africa tour of Srilanka, he was the highest wicket-taker of the ODI series with 14 wickets in just 5 matches. Dhananjaya is a smart-off spinner and can give you good returns. He is our pick for best bowler from South Africa.
