The first outing for both teams and neither would want to start the tournament on a bad note. A resounding victory can provide them a boost for forthcoming matches as well. Both teams have some issues going on with them alongside this tournament. Where South Africa have really pathetic numbers on this ground, Sri Lanka are going through injuries and internal managemental tensions.
Sri Lanka recently ended up being the runner-up of the ACC Asia Cup 2023. Only India defeated the Sri Lankan team twice in the tournament. Though Sri Lanka had success against UAE, Oman, Ireland, Zimbabwe, and West Indies, none of which are at the World Cup, there will be harder challenges for them in the tournament against the best teams in the globe.
South Africa came to the tournament riding on a 3-2 home ODI series victory against Australia. They were 0-2 down in the first two matches and ended 3-0 in the last 3 matches helping them to lock the home series.
Coming to today’s contest, With Temba Bavuma, Quinton de Kock, and Heinrich Klaasen—all of whom are currently at the forefront of their ODI game—the proteas’ batting is formidable. Keshav Maharaj is about to return, and there are no more niggles to address.
Theekshana is out due to his leg injury which indicates there are open doors for Dunith Wellalage in the biggest stage. Another advantage for Sri Lanka is that Wellalage has never played against South Africa, so if he gets assistance, he might be the ACE OF SPADE for them.
