AB De Villiers is back from injury to wreak havoc to the Lankan Lions and he is doing that with some class. He mentioned ahead of the ODIs that he is content with nothing but a 5-0 sweep against Sri Lanka.
The likes of Faf du Plessis in the batting sector and Imran Tahir in the bowling sector has wreaked havoc to Sri Lanka's hopes. Upul Tharanga, the Sri Lanka skipper, who scored 119 runs in the fourth ODI at Newlands, Cape Town, will be hoping against hope that he can lead his side to at least one victory from the series.
Can Tharanga do something magical at the SuperSport Park in Centurion on Friday? We all wait to found out!
"The problem I see here is not lack of talent [for Sri Lanka] but their inability to adjust quickly to situations and handle the pressure. You can't play cricket if you can't absorb pressure," Sri Lanka cricket legend and the current chief selector of the team, Sanath Jayasuriya, has been quoted as saying by ESPN Cricinfo.
