South Africa vs Sri Lanka 2017: 3rd ODI, 5 talking points

#4 Dwaine Pretorius makes the perfect step up

Pretorius has sent a timely reminder to the selectors about his ability

A year ago South Africa were scanning their domestic circuit for anyone who could hold a bat and a ball as well. Now, they have four in the same 15 man squad and the left out man in the first two games, Pretorius, was given a game ahead of Parnell.

Pretorius, famous for his tight bowling in domestic cricket, co-timed the trend with a tidy maiden first up. He followed up with one more maiden later in his spell but importantly took three crucial wickets.

Pretorius had the dangerous Dickwella, Lanka's top scorer caught behind, before taking two more of the tail enders to finish with career-best figures of 7-2-19-3. With the Champions Trophy approaching, Pretorius has sent a timely reminder to the selectors about his ability.
