SL vs SA 3rd T20I: Possible Playing 11 of Sri Lanka

SL vs SA, SL Playing 11: Sri Lankan team has been defeated in the most humiliating way in the last two T20Is. They have already lost the series and will be treating this match as a practice game ahead of the upcoming T20 world cup. Kusal Perera and Jayawickrama came back into the side in the last match, but even they couldn’t help to get their team back on the winning ways. Let’s see what all changes they are likely to make for the 3rd and final T20I.

SL Playing 11 (likely)

Despite the loss, they are not expected to make any changes to the playing eleven. Kusal Perera is expected to be available for selection, but it’s not sure whether he will name it to the playing eleven or not for tomorrow’s fixture. The only change expected is in the wicket-keeping department where Minod Bhanuka may come in place of Bhanuka Rajapaksa who is having a series to forget.
