In this match, Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat first. However, this decision proved to be very wrong and the team was all out for 77 runs. No batsman from Sri Lanka batted well.

The performance of all the players was very poor. Talking about South Africa, all the bowlers left their mark in this match and constantly put pressure on the Sri Lankan batsmen. Sri Lankan batsmen looked under a lot of pressure from the first ball of the match. Pathum Nissanka failed to bat well against South Africa and was out after scoring three runs. Kusal Mendis scored the most runs for his team. He played an innings of 19 runs with the help of 1 four in 30 balls.

Kamindu Mendis failed to bat well and was out after scoring 11 runs. Angelo Mathews played an innings of 16 runs. Apart from these three players, no other batsman could cross the 10-run mark.
