In the two Super 12 matches which South Africa and Sri Lanka have played in the tournament, both of them have won and lost a match to be at the third and fourth position respectively on the points table in Group 1. Irrespective of the results, South Africa and Sri Lanka have oozed a lot of potential and them playing against each other calls for an enticing contest.
As far as playing the shortest format in Sharjah is concerned, South Africa will be playing their first T20I at this venue on Saturday. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have won both their T20Is here.
