Pitch Report

The surface at the Senwes Park in Potchefstroom is a batters-friendly track, mostly in the first innings of the game. However, the bowlers [mostly pacers] might get some help from the wicket in the second half of the game. The average first-innings score here has been 299 runs while the overall average score reduces to 269. So, the captain winning the toss will look ahead to bat first to trouble the opponent with a ‘struggling run-chase.’

Player Picks

C

Nuwanidu Fernando SL-A | BAT

The in-form ‘number 3’ batter for Sri Lanka A, Nuwanidu Fernando played a match-winning knock of 97 runs off 101 balls, hitting eight fours and a six. He also ended up earning the ‘Player of the Match’ award for his brilliant knock.

C

Kamil Mishara SL-A | BAT

Islanders’ opener Kamil Mishara played a crucial knock of 71 runs off 75 balls, with nine fours and a six. He also stitched an important 101-run partnership with Nuwandi Fernando after the visitors lost Lahiru Udara early at the score of 20 runs. Mishara can also be selected as one of the captaincy picks in the dream11 team for this game.

6

Andile Phehlukwayo SA-A | ALL

South Africa A’s Andile Phehlukwayo scalped 3 wickets at the cost of just 38 runs in his 10 overs. He was the most successful bowler for the hosts during the failure of their other bowlers against Sri Lanka A’s batters. Phehlukwayo can be selected as one of the top picks in the fantasy team.

7.5

Dushan Hemantha SL-A | ALL

Sri Lanka A leggie Dushan Hemantha was the ‘most performing’ bowler among both teams in the first unofficial ODI of the series. He bagged 3 wickets at the cost of just 34 runs in 5.5 overs, with a brilliant economy rate of 5.82.

Lutho Sipamla

SA-A | BOWL

South Africa A pacer Lutho Spamla couldn’t impress much with his bowling performance in the series opener. He could scalp only 1 wicket at the cost of 51 runs in his 10-over spell.

8.5

David Bedingham

SA-A | BAT

South Africa A wicketkeeper-batter David Bedingham failed to prove his worth with the bat in the first game against the Islanders. He could score only 13 runs off 13 balls with an ‘average’ strike rate of 100.00. He can also be avoided while picking the fantasy team for this fixture.
