Sri Lanka needs batting stability in dead rubber

Sri Lanka handed the T20 series to the Proteas on Sunday after suffering a heavy nine-wicket defeat with 35 balls to spare. The Proteas had won the opening game by 28 runs.

On Sunday, having been bowled out for 103 runs, Sri Lanka had little chance although the wicket had a lot of assistance for spinners. Having consolidated their position during the Power Play, the tourists cruised to win to clinch the series with a game to spare.

The series was a good preparation ahead of next month’s World Cup. But not sure whose bright idea it was to play the games on rank turners.

For ICC events, you can expect belters and Sri Lanka would have been better off preparing sporting tracks.

South Africa’s spinners have outperformed their Sri Lankan rivals and chinaman bowler Tabraiz Shamsi has been a revelation.

Ranked world’s number one bowler in the shortest format of the game, Shamsi rarely sends down a bad ball and also picks up crucial wickets.
