Match 25 of the T20 World Cup 2021 will see South Africa (SA) take on Sri Lanka (SL) at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
South Africa come into the game on the back of a morale-boosting win over the West Indies. Despite all the outside noise, the Proteas are well on-course for a top-two finish.

Pitch Report
As seen in previous games at the T20 World Cup venue, a competitive track is expected in Sharjah. The batters will be challenged by both the pacers and spinners, who should get help off the track. However, the pitch does have some runs on offer. The batters have to bide their time in the middle before going big. Wickets in hand will be key for both sides, with 150-160 being a good total in Sharjah.

Today’s SA vs SL Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Kusal Perera: Although Kusal Perera is one of the most explosive openers in the competition, he hasn't been in the best of form for Sri Lanka. Strong square of the wicket and comfortable against pace, Perera should get some runs in today's game, making him a good addition to your SA vs SL Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Aiden Markram: Aiden Markram has been South Africa's best player in the ICC T20 World Cup with a fifty to his name as well. His handy off-spin will also come into play at some stage, adding value to his case as a must-have in your SA vs SL Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Wanindu Hasaranga: Wanindu Hasaranga's leg-spin is Sri Lanka's main asset on slightly slow tracks in the UAE. While his bowling ability should ideally have a say in the outcome of the game, Hasaranga is more than capable with the bat as well, making him one to watch out for in this game.
Bowler
Anrich Nortje: South African speedster Anrich Nortje has been on fire in recent games, nailing his lines and lengths in addition to unfurling 150-plus kmph thunderbolts at the batters. He has been South Africa's go-to bowler in the middle overs and should ideally pick up a wicket or two in this game as well.
