South Africa vs Sri Lanka ODI World Cup 2023 match Live Updates: Hello and welcome to live coverage of SA vs SL ODI World Cup 2023 match. South Africa vs Sri Lanka ODI World Cup 2023 match will take place on October 7, 2023 at 14:00 IST at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in Delhi. South Africa vs Sri Lanka ODI World Cup 2023 match is expected to be a thriller.
South Africa and Sri Lanka are all set to kick off their ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign with a thrilling contest at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi. These two teams have a history of encounters in One-Day Internationals (ODIs), having faced each other 80 times. South Africa holds the advantage in this head-to-head battle, having emerged victorious in 45 of those matches. In World Cups, South Africa and Sri Lanka have come face to face six times. Of these matches, South Africa won five times and Sri Lanka won only one match. Notably, none of these matches have been played on the Asian soil.
South Africa will aim to maintain their dominance, while Sri Lanka will be eager to turn the tables and make a strong statement in the tournament.
South Africa's David Miller and skipper Temba Bavuma are in good form. Bavuma's pairing with wicketkeeper batsman Quinton de Kock in the top order can prove dangerous for Sri Lanka. In the lower-order, Klaasen has the ability to destroy the opposition bowling attack. The spin pair of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi were successful in the recent series against Australia, but their record in India is not very good.
SRI LANKA: Pathum Nissanka, Dimuth Karunaratne, Kusal Mendis(w), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Kusal Perera, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka(c), Kasun Rajitha, Lahiru Kumara, Dunith Wellalage, Dushan Hemantha, Dilshan Madushanka, Matheesha Pathirana, Maheesh Theekshana
SOUTH AFRICA: Quinton de Kock(w), Reeza Hendricks, Temba Bavuma(c), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Andile Phehlukwayo, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi, Lizaad Williams, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi
