Dream11 Prediction for T20 World Cup Today's Sri Lanka vs South Africa Match

At the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, United States, Sri Lanka will face South Africa in the fourth match of the T20 World Cup 2024 on June 3 at 8 PM IST.

As per the sources, Sri Lanka will rely on their varied bowling attack so as to mitigate South Africa's robust batting in their Group D T20 World Cup opener. With a batting lineup including Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Quinton de Kock, David Miller, and Tristan Stubbs, South Africa is said to be a formidable foe.

Furthermore, with Klaasen averaging 41 in this World Cup cycle, Klaasen and Stubbs are in good form. Sri Lanka is expected to utilize pacers Dilshan Madhushanka and Matheesha Pathirana to counter them.

South Africa previously lost 0-3 against the West Indies recently. This can act as the much needed booster for the Sri Lankan team. Also to note, the pitch conditions in New York might favor bowlers. This was seen in the warm-up match between India and Bangladesh. Adding to this, Sri Lankan boasts a good T20 record this year, wherein, they have won series against Zimbabwe and Afghanistan at home and Bangladesh in an away series. So, with six wins in their last nine T20Is, Sri Lankan team will come to the pitch with a strong vigor. Having said that, the team knows that their batters need to perform well against South Africa.

Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, and Dhananjaya de Silva offer the needed experience and stability to Sri Lanka's batting lineup, while Dasun Shanaka brings the needed firepower with respect to the lower down the order.

As Anrich Nortje is still finding form after returning from injury and had a tough IPL season, South Africa's bowling largely relies on Kagiso Rabada and Tabraiz Shamsi. South Africa's management hopes Nortje can find his rhythm so as to avoid a below the standard performance in the World Cup.
