From the given figure,

We can observe that,


\begin{gathered} \angle B\cong\angle D(\text{Given)} \\ AB\cong CD(Since,\text{ it is a parallelogram)} \\ BC\cong DA(Since,\text{ it is a parallelogram)} \\ \Delta ABC\cong\Delta CDA \end{gathered}

Hence, yes, the two triangles can be proven congruent by SAS.
