Match Preview
South Africa
- Currently, South Africa looks like a side that is tired and confused. It is not able to play the attacking style of cricket that some of the other teams are playing and their experienced players are unable to step up when it matters the most.
- South Africa’s bowling was better in the previous match and that is something to take heart from. Imran Tahir will be tested against the Sri Lanka players and a lot will rest on the shoulders of Kagiso Rabada.
- South Africa must take wickets up front because the middle overs can be targeted by the opposition batsmen.

SRI LANKA
- Sri Lanka came into the World Cup on the back from some poor performances in bilateral as well as multi-member series, but as luck have it in their way of a terrific history in ICC tournaments, they are at a pretty good position in this edition.
- They are coming into this match on the back of an excellent performance against England.
- The problem of not having enough experience in the middle-order was well and truly apparent as they slid from a comfortable position to a position from where winning was a pipe dream.
- The Islanders would need their batsmen to step up and bowlers to play out of their skins to put South Africa under any pressure whatsoever.
