South Africa vs Sri Lanka ODI Match

January 11 - The second one day international cricket match between Sri Lanka and South Africa will take place on Saturday 14th January, and cricket fans are champing at the bit for the next nail-biting installment.

So far, South Africa has been the top dog as they won the test series 2-1, but Sri Lanka may just end up taking home the title if they win the 2^nd ODI and keep up that momentum for the rest of the series.

In the upcoming ODI match between South Africa vs. Sri Lanka, fans can expect a lot of action from both teams as Sri Lanka set out to prove themselves. As shown in the first ODI, South Africa is a hard team to beat, while the Sri Lankans have upped their game. However, whether this will be enough for them to secure a victory in East London remains to be seen.

The ODI series gave Sri Lanka a new opportunity to make a mark for them in this Sri Lanka Tour of South Africa. The Lankans are known to be good opponents when it comes to limited overs in cricket and fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming match on the 14^th of January 2012.

AB de Villiers is captaining the South African team for the One Day Internationals while Sri Lanka has picked Tillakaratne Dilshan to be its skipper, in the hope that good things will come out of the new leadership. Top players like Sangakkara, Jayawardene and Dilshan should help boost the attack.

It's likely that the Sri Lankans will work on their bowling with strong guns like Malinga and Kulasekara on their team. If they manage to ramp up their batting team and secure a good run rate, they may have a very good chance at winning the ODIs.

According to Dinesh Chandimal on the Sri Lankan Team, “Although the wicket is still good, the South African attack doesn’t give you a chance to relax. With the bowlers varying their deliveries, you must concentrate hard… the pressure is always on the batsmen. That’s been (South Africa’s) success.”
