Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first in the third one-day international (ODI) against South Africa in Bloemfontein on Tuesday.
South Africa lead the five-match series 2-0.
A fast high-scoring match is anticipated in the day/night game where the average first innings scores has been around 250 runs in international matches.
South Africa scored a mammoth 351/6 in their previous match at the ground against Zimbabwe in 2010, an innings that was highlight by debutant centurion Colin Ingram.
