South Africa's tour of Sri Lanka has moved to the T20I's now. After the host won the three-match ODI series by a margin of 2-1, the South African team have been eyeing a comeback in the series.

Meanwhile, take a look at the top three Sri Lanka vs South Africa betting tips from the 2nd T20I match.

SL vs SA Player Bet:

Both the teams have some brilliant players in their squad. Hence I have taken the privilege of picking out the top three batsmen for you to capitalize on from the SL vs SA player betting tips.

Quinton De Kock To Score Over 25.5 Runs

Quinton De Kock has been a stalwart for South Africa at the top of the batting order. He has opened the batting for the Porteas numerous times and has not let his team down by any means. In the series opener, De Kock got his team off to a flying start as he hammered 36 off 32 until he was dismissed in the 10th over. The South African left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman has knocked 1641 runs in 55 matches at an average of 32.82. De Kock has played 17 matches against Sri Lanka so far in his career. In the last one year De Kock has emerged as the top T20I player for his side. He has played 11 innings in the shorter format and made 415 runs from them at an average of 37.72. The left-handed batsman has scored above the targeted runs in seven of the eight T20I matches he has batted in the 2021 season. This bodes well with our bet and is one of the top bets from the SL vs SA match prediction. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for Quinton De Kock to score over 25.5 runs in the SL vs SA betting tips.

Aiden Markam To Score over 21.5 Runs

Next in line is another South African batsman who has been second to Quinton De Kock in the batting order for his squad. Markam kicked off the 1st T20I match with the highest runs among South African batsmen. He added 48 off 33 and was declared the Player of the Match in the series opener. Markam comes with an experience of 13 T20I matches played over a span of three years and averages at 33.75. He has managed to rack 405 from the 12 innings played so far. In the 11 innings that Markam has batted in 2021, he has scored over 21 runs in seven of these innings. This is Markam's second series against Sri Lanka and in the previous two matches played he had failed to deliver as per expectations. Under the captaincy of Temba Bavuma, Markam has played 6 matches and gathered 160 runs which averages 32.00. The South African batter generally bats in the second and third position and holds an impressive average of 44.75 and 59.00 from these positions. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for Aiden Markam to score over 21.5 runs in the SL vs SA match prediction.

Dinesh Chandimal To Score Over 19.5 Runs

Lastly we have the Sri Lankan opening batsman who made every effort to counter the visitors runs and was the highest run getter among batsmen in the first T20I. He pitched in 66 runs off 54 balls played to the teams total. If it was not for Chandimal, Sri Lanka would have not been able to put up with the chase as most of the batsmen failed to deliver in the top order. Like our other two South African batsmen, Chandimal is also the top T20I run scorer for the Lankans. He holds a pretty good average of 67.00 from the 4 innings he has played in the last one year and made 134 runs from them. His career emcompasses 934 T20I runs earned from 58 matches played. This averages at 20.75 from 51 innings. The right-handed batsman has played 10 matches against Proteas and has an average of 27.42 with 192 runs to his name. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for Dinesh Chandimal to score over 19.5 runs in the SL vs SA head-to-head match.
