Analysis
Even though South African side is missing many players and suffered a big blow, owing to skipper Temba Bavuma’s freak injury, the Proteas made a strong comeback by winning the 2nd ODI. Janneman Malan’s phenomenal ton paved the way for South Africa's victory. Aiden Markram and Janneman Malan are the top picks from the team and should be a must have in one’s fantasy.
Om the other hand, the Sri Lankan side will aim to dominate the visitors in the decider, in order to clinch the series owing to their home advantage. Avishka Fernando and Charith Asalanka’s contribution will be crucial for the Sri Lankan side, given their current form. Further, Dhanajay de Silva, Wanindu Hasaranga and Dushmantha Chameera are bankable players who can perform well. However, weather could play spoilsport in this match as there are 80% chances of rainfall during the match.
