South Africa, who have never progressed beyond the semi finals of either a 20- or 50-over world cup, come into this tournament in unimpressive form. They have lost 11 of their past 13 games, which includes a 3-0 loss in the Caribbean last month. But this will be a rare occasion that the Proteas will have all their best T20 players on the field together.
They have powerful batting line up, with Heinrich Klaasen in particularly destructive form, especially against spinners. Left-arm spinner Tabraiz Shamsi could be a key bowler with his local experience from playing in the Caribbean Premier League.
Sri Lanka, coached by former England coach Chris Silverwood, have one of the most exciting young bowling talents in the world game in Matheesha Pathirana. The 21-year-old, who bowls with a Lasith Malinga-like slingy action, bowls above 90mph and had an impressive injury-curtailed IPL season.
