Preview of both side
South Africa, led by Aiden Markram, will try to bounce back quickly from their series defeat to the West Indies. To set the tone for the entire competition, The Lions will be keen to start their campaign strong.
One of the best bowling attacks is attributed to Sri Lanka. In addition, they are definitely full of confidence and ready for more success after their recent victory over Bangladesh and Afghanistan in their respective three-match T20I series.
But in a warm-up match, the Netherlands upset them by 20 runs, ending their winning streak.
The team, led by captain Wanindu Hasaranga, will want to make the most of their variety of bowling abilities because it gives Sri Lanka a tactical edge over opponents and allows them to adjust well to changing pitch conditions. In contrast, especially when compared to their competitors, their batting lineup is less trustworthy and doesn’t have many big hitters.
This can make it more difficult for the team to define and pursue big goals. To put it another way, the bowlers’ efforts must be supported by the batters and vice versa.
However, shortly before the World Cup, South Africa lost a three-match T20I series to the West Indies, leaving them stunned.
Despite the absence of a few key players because of prior obligations, they intend to recover and get off to a strong start to the campaign.
