- South Africa have won their last three encounters against Sri Lanka in men’s T20I cricket, all those victories coming when defending a total, they’ve never won four in a row against them however. South Africa have won two of the three multigame bilateral men’s T20I series played against Sri Lanka (L1); the Proteas have a chance to register consecutive such series wins for the first time in this format after also beating them in 2019 (W2, T1). Sri Lanka have failed to score more than 160 in any of their 10 men’s T20I matches in 2021, the other nine nations to play 10+ men’s T20I matches this year have all recorded at least one score of 190+. South Africa have won their last five men’s T20I matches on the road, the second time they have recorded such a run (2009), they’ve never won six on the spin outside of South Africa in this format. Sri Lanka have won just two of their 11 multigame bilateral men’s T20I series at home, 2-0 against Australia in 2011 and 2-1 against India in their most recent such series (July 2021). South Africa have a catch success rate of 73% in men’s T20I since the beginning of 2020, the poorest rate amongst Test playing nations, they have dropped 40 of their 147 chances presented to them, including five of seven chances in the first match of this series; the most they’ve dropped in a T20I since January 2017 (6 v Sri Lanka). David Miller has a batting dot ball rate of 22% in 2021, the second lowest of any player from a Test playing nation to face 50+ balls in men’s T20I cricket this year (Liam Livingstone 21%). Tabraiz Shamsi needs just four more scalps for 50 T20I wickets, in doing so he will become just the third South African to achieve this feat in men’s T20Is (Dale Steyn & Imran Tahir); he is the leading wicket taker (25) in the format in 2021. Quinton de Kock needs just two more to record the second most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in men’s T20I matches, he currently has 62 dismissals and only has MS Dhoni (91) and Denesh Ramdin (63) above him. Dinesh Chandimal is 66 away from reaching 1,000 runs in T20I cricket, the exact score he managed in the first match of this series with South Africa, his highest ever score in the format and the top score of anyone in the opener.
