In February 2019, Sri Lanka named Dimuth Karunaratne as the captain of their Test side, after Dinesh Chandimal was dropped due to poor form.[5] Chandimal was also omitted from Sri Lanka's ODI squad for the tour.[6] Sri Lanka won the Test series 2–0,[7] their first Test series win in South Africa.[8] It was also the first time that a team from Asia had won a Test series in South Africa.[9]
South Africa won the ODI series 5–0.[10] It was the fourth time in less than two years that Sri Lanka had been whitewashed in a five-match ODI series.[11] For the T20I series, Faf du Plessis was named as South Africa's captain for the first match, with JP Duminy named as captain for the remaining two fixtures.[12] South Africa also completed a whitewash in the T20I series, winning 3–0.[13]
Ahead of the last two ODIs, Aiden Markram, Hashim Amla and JP Duminy were added to South Africa's squad,[20] with Reeza Hendricks and Wiaan Mulder being dropped.[21] However, the day after Amla was added to South Africa's ODI squad, he took compassionate leave, missing the last two matches, with Hendricks recalled.[22]Kusal Perera was ruled out of Sri Lanka's ODI squad for the final two ODIs, after suffering a hamstring injury in the third ODI.[23]Lungi Ngidi and Anrich Nortje were ruled out of South Africa's T20I squad for the final two T20Is due to injury.[24]Junior Dala was added to South Africa's squad for the third T20I.[25]
Sri Lanka were set a revised target of 183 runs from 17 overs due to rain.
