(Reuters) - South Africa will use their one-day series in Sri Lanka as preparation for the Twenty20 World Cup later this year as conditions in the United Arab Emirates are expected to be similar, captain Temba Bavuma said.

South Africa will play three ODIs and three T20 games during the Sept. 2-14 tour, though a number of their frontline players have either been rested or are injured for the 50-over series.
