DHAKA (Reuters) - South Africa captain Faf du Plessis and pace spearhead Dale Steyn are nursing hamstring injuries and are doubtful for their World Twenty20 opener against Sri Lanka on Saturday.

Both players skipped Wednesday's final warm-up game against Pakistan and a final decision on their availability would be taken on Saturday afternoon before the match, Cricket South Africa (CSA) said on their website.
