SL vs SA Head To Head In T20 History: South Africa will have to adapt to the unknown conditions quickly in their T20 World Cup Group D opener against Sri Lanka in New York on Monday, but captain Aiden Markram is confident his side can end their luckless run at global events.
The fixture will be played on a drop-in pitch at the brand new Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on Long Island, which staged a first ever international fixture when India beat Bangladesh by 60 runs in a warm-up game on Saturday.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka will look to put up an inspired performance against the Proteas in an effort to start their campaign on a high. Wanindu Hasaranga, captain of the side, can make it happen for his side on a pitch which is a bit on the slower side as evident from the warm-up match between India and Bangladesh.
