Sri Lanka sent their hosts in to bat but battled to contain the home side as Hendricks and Van der Dussen put on 116 in 76 balls for the second wicket with South Africa.

The two batsmen are likely fighting over one position in South Africa’s 15-man squad for the Cricket World Cup in England and Wales that starts on May 30, with the less experienced Van der Dussen’s ability to clear the boundary potentially giving him the edge.
