Angelo Mathews was the only batsman to miss out, but nevertheless spent time at the crease on Tuesday, hitting a 52-ball 37 before the match was called off.Kusal Perera and Tharanga opened the innings after Nuwan Pradeep had quickly claimed the last two South African Invitation XI innings in the morning. They put on 91 together and were each retired out after reaching their half-centuries. Dinesh Chandimal then struck a 52-ball 60 that featured nine fours and a six, before being dismissed by left-arm spinner Bjorn Fortuin.

Sri Lanka are travel to Port Elizabeth on Wednesday ahead of their Boxing Day Test. The major point of contention may be the No. 3 spot, with Kusal Mendis having now settled in at No. 4. Kusal Perera is the leading contender to come in at first drop, but the management may consider Upul Tharanga for that position as well, following his success in Zimbabwe.Questions remain about the make-up of the attack however.
