Sri Lanka and South Africa will lock horns with each other in the second T20I of the three-match series in Colombo.
The Proteas rode on some decent performance from their batting line up, especially the top-order in the first clash and posted a good total on the board and then restricted the opposition for 135/6 while chasing a target of 164 in 20 overs.
An all-round performance from the side handed the visitors a 1-0 lead in the series.
On the other side, the hosts would be looking to turn the tables for themselves in this second game.
The home side began the chase in a decent manner in the first match but lost the way in the middle overs after witnessing a fall of wickets at regular intervals.
The Sri Lankan batting unit now needs to capitalise on the start that it gets in order to get some fruitful results.
