A confident South Africa is looking to extend their record winning streak against Sri Lanka in the third One-Day International (ODI) at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy on Sunday. A win will give the Proteas a series win, and extend their impressive run of 10 consecutive ODI victories against Sri Lanka, a record against a Test playing nation other than Zimbabwe. The streak started in Sri Lanka in 2014, and has run through fixtures at the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, a 5-0 whitewash at home, the 2016 ICC Champions Trophy and the ongoing series. The resolve of the Proteas’ young bowling attack has been the standout highlight of the series so far, and has been key to limiting the hosts to reasonable totals in both matches. All four seamers along with left-arm wrist-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi are playing in Sri Lanka for the first time, and have been effective and adapted well to the conditions.
