SA vs SL Match Prediction: On Saturday, October 7, the first double header of this World Cup will be played. Two matches of the World Cup will be played on this day. One match will be played between Bangladesh and Afghanistan, the other match will be played between South Africa and Sri Lanka. South Africa and Sri Lanka will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi from 2 pm.
Looking at the old records and recent form of these two teams, South Africa’s lead seems heavy. The South African team has won the ODI series with a strong team like Australia before the World Cup, while the Sri Lankan team was all-out for just 50 runs against India in the final match of the Asia Cup. Apart from this, South Africa has won most of the matches in the ODI matches between these two teams.
Pitch Report and Playing XI
So, if you look at the Delhi pitch, both batsmen and bowlers get almost equal help. Fast bowlers can dodge batsmen by mixing in speed, while spin bowlers also get help on this pitch. The boundaries here are small, and the outfield is fast, Which makes it easier for batsmen to score runs. The average score here is low, and most of the teams batting later win the match. The weather of Delhi is expected to be clear during this match. The average temperature of Delhi will be 26 degrees Celsius.
South Africa’s probable playing XI: Quinton de Kock (wicketkeeper), Temba Bavuma (captain), Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Johnson, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Tabrez Shamsi, Lungi Ngidi
Sri Lanka’s probable playing XI: Kusal Mendis (wicketkeeper), Kusal Perera, Pathum Nisanka, Charith Aslanka, Dasun Shanaka (captain), Chamika Karunaratne, Dunith Velalez, Dhananjaya de Silva, Kasun Rajitha, Mahish Thikshana, Mathishaa Pathirana
