2nd ODI between Sri Lanka and South Africa is underway now at RPS Colombo. The rain affected game was reduced to 47 over per side.
Winning the toss, South Africa elected to bat first and managed to score 283 with the loss of 6 wickets. Janneman Malan continued his impressive form, scoring his third century in just his ninth innings.
Chasing 283, Sri lanka have started poorly losing 3 wickets in quick succession. Despite Sri Lanka got another game to fight for the series, the game is important to Sri Lanka as well as South Africa to get some points in the ICC ODI Super league table.
Based on the table both Sri Lanka and South Africa remain outside the qualification zone thus winning is imminent.
This is how the @ICC ODI Super League table would currently look if it was based on points per game. Don't forget the WTC final was decided by a similar method after being cut short.
