SA Line-Up:

#Q De Kock and Reeza Hendricks are expected to open the inning. Both are very talented and attacking batsman. Reeza Hendricks is looking in terrific form from the last series while Q De Kock generally plays well and is a consistent performer of the team.

#Ever reliable Faf Duplessis will bat at 2 down. He is a consistent performer of the team and generally plays well.

#D Miller will bat next.He is a very attacking batsman. He was in good form in the domestic tournament but he failed badly against Pakistan. This is a very crucial series for him.

#A Phehlukvayo will bat next. He is in terrific form with bat. He scored consistently in 70s in momentum ODI cup and also played well against Pakistan.

#Anyone of D Pretorius /W Mulder will play. Both are decent batsman.
Imran Tahir will lead the spin attack of the team. He is a leg spinner and is a good bowler.

#Kagiso Rabada, L Ngidi, and D Steyn will lead the pace attack while W Mulder/D Pretorius and A Phehlukvayo will assist them. Rabada is rated as one of the best fast bowlers while Steyn is looking at his best again since last year.

#Any 2 of Oshada Fernando/Kamindu Mendis/Dhannajay Desilva will bat next. Chances of Fernando and Kamindu Mendis are high as they get preferred of DeSilva in practice game.Fernando scored half century in warm up match.Kamindu Mendis is good spinner also.

#T Perera will do late hitting duty.He was in terrific form with bat in last series. He can get promoted any time of big hitting.

#Akila Dhananjay can bat also.He will lead the spin attack of the team along with Kamindu Mendis(slight risky). Akila is coming after a remodelled action so it will be interesting to see whether he will be effective or not.
