Live Cricket Score of South Africa vs Sri Lanka, 1st T20I at Centurion

As much as the Test whitewash would have hurt, this is Sri Lanka's chance to press the reset button and turn the tour around as we get set for the first T20I at Centurion. It won't be easy. The visitors are coming off a six-game losing run in the shortest format. But some fresh minds, fresh faces and a fresh outlook should help. In fact, that appears to be the theme for this game - freshness. Hosts South Africa themselves are expected to feature as many as six debutants. This is also the first T20I being played between these two teams in the Rainbow Nation. Lest I forget, this is Sri Lanka's first limited overs game since Dilshan's retirement. Wasn't he a handy player!
