South Africa vs Sri Lanka Ist ODI 2012 Live Streaming: Before the series started no one gave Sri Lanka a chance and Sotuh Africa were favorites for a white wash and that's how it began in the first test, but the Lankans to their credit pulled up a shock victory in the second test which surprised many before finally surrendering the series in the third.

Match Start Time: 12:30 GMT

But now as we move on the shorter format of the game the teams are a lot more closely matches than they were in tests, in terms of ODI rankings it will be third (South Africa) against 4th (Sri Lanka), the ODI series will also see the inclusion of probably Sri Lanka's best bowler at the moment Lasith Malinga.

Another change for Sotuh Africa will be the absence of Graeme Smith as captain, AB de Villiers has now taken over the responsibility of the ODI captaincy, the middle order batsman also keeps wickets for South Africa in the limited overs game.
