South Africa wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock is expected to return after agreeing to take the knee before the start of the match. His return will most certainly bolster South Africa against an inconsistent Sri Lanka, who lost their last encounter against Australia by seven wickets. The Temba Bavuma-led side will hope to make it two in two after losing the tournament opener.
