SL vs SA Toss Prediction

Four of the last six completed one-day internationals played at the Riverside Ground have been won by the side batting second. Since the wicket at this ground tends to offer more assistance to the bowlers during the first period of play, the toss-winning team is likely to bowl first.

SL vs SA Weather Report

A pleasant weather has been forecast for this game. No rain is expected and the sun will be making its way out from time to time. There will be gentle breeze blowing across the stadium and the temperature should be around 15-18 degrees Celsius.

SL vs SA Pitch Condition

The Riverside Ground generally offers good batting conditions and so a batsman-friendly surface can be expected for this game. However, it will be crucial for the batsmen to see-off the early swing of the new ball, and once they do that, scoring runs should be a lot easier.

Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11

SL Team News

Sri Lanka made a couple of changes to their side after their big defeat to Australia - they dropped Lahiru Thirimanne and Milinda Siriwardana for Jeevan Mendis and Avishka Fernando. The latter impressed with the bat in the last game against England and is likely to be retained for this upcoming clash against South Africa. Sri Lanka are coming off a win and we don't expect them to disturb their winning combination.

SL Key Players

Dimuth Karunaratne: The opener has been the most impressive of all the Sri Lankan batsmen in this World Cup with 180 runs in four matches. He has cracked a couple of half-centuries - 52* against New Zealand and 97 against Australia - and will look to take his team off to a flying start in this match.

Kusal Perera: With two big knocks in his previous three innings, Kusal Perera is another key figure in this Sri Lankan batting unit. He smashed 78 against Afghanistan and followed up with 52 against Australia. He scored just two runs last time and will look to make up for that.

Lasith Malinga: Sri Lanka's most experienced bowler has been the standout performer for them in the tournament in terms of bowling. The pacer has taken eight wickets in four matches at an economy of 5.96. He was the man of the match in the last game against England where his four-wicket haul turned the game in Sri Lanka's favor.

SL Recent Form

Sri Lanka have played six matches so far this World Cup out of which they have won two and lost as many while two have been washouts. They are currently seventh on the CWC 2019 points table with six points and will need to win their remaining three fixtures in order to make it to the semi-finals. After facing a heavy 87-run defeat against Australia at London, Sri Lanka showed a lot of character to bounce back with a 20-run victory over hosts England in their last match at Leeds.

Sri Lanka vs South Africa Match Prediction

South Africa Team News & Playing 11

SA Team News

South Africa have no injury concerns heading into this game. The Proteas have fielded the same eleven in their last two matches, but since they have already been eliminated, they may look to try out some of their benched players against Sri Lanka. JP Duminy could replace Aiden Markram while Beuran Hendricks might get a chance in place of Kagiso Rabada who deserves a much-needed breather. Hashim Amla and Quinton de Kock will open the South African batting while Faf du Plessis and Aiden Markram will continue to bat at numbers three and four respectively. Lungi Ngidi will most probably start the proceedings with the ball.

SA Key Players

Quinton de Kock: He has been the most consistent performer with the bat for South Africa in this Cricket World Cup having scored 238 runs which includes a couple of half-centuries. The opening batsman has scores of 68, 5 and 47 in his last three outings.

Imran Tahir: The leg-spinner is ranked fourth in the ICC ODI rankings for bowlers and is currently the team's leading wicket-taker in the tournament with ten wickets. He notched a four-fer against Afghanistan at Cardiff and is coming on the back of impressive figures of 2-41 against Pakistan.

Lungi Ngidi: Missing a few games due to injury has not affected his rhythm. The fast bowler has been amongst the wickets this World Cup having picked up seven scalps in four matches. He took three wickets last time out and will look to deliver another strong performance.

SA Recent Form

South Africa's 49-run loss to Pakistan in the last match has thrown them out of contention for the race to the semi-finals. With just one win, five defeats and a washout from seven matches, the Proteas are currently placed in the ninth position on the CWC 2019 leaderboard. Their solitary win came ten days ago at Cardiff against Afghanistan - the least challenging of all the teams in the tournament. South Africa have now lost their last two matches - against New Zealand and Pakistan.

South Africa Predicted Playing 11

Quinton de Kock (wk), Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis (c), Aiden Markram/JP Duminy, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Andile Phehlukwayo, Chris Morris, Kagiso Rabada/Beuran Hendricks, Lungi Ngidi, Imran Tahir

SL vs SA Dream11 Team Prediction

Our Dream11 team for SL vs SA CWC 2019 has more players from South Africa (7) than Sri Lanka (4) as the former has a better chance of winning this match.

Wicket-keeper

Quinton de Kock and Kusal Perera open the batting for their respective teams and have been impressive with the bat in this World Cup which is why we have included both of them in our Dream11 line-up. Both are averaging around 40 and have a couple of half-centuries to their name.

Batsmen

We have picked Avishka Fernando from Sri Lanka along with Faf du Plessis and Rassie van der Dussen from South Africa as the batsmen in our Dream11 line-up for this match. Fernando looked in good nick (49 runs off 39 balls) in his first World Cup game last time out against England. South Africa skipper du Plessis too is coming off an impressive 63 versus Pakistan while van der Dussen has been highly consistent in the middle order.

All-rounders

Andile Phehlukwayo seems to be the best all-rounder at the moment from both the teams. The South African has notched eight wickets in seven matches at a decent economy of 5.41 and he can also make vital contributions with his late-order hitting just like he did last time against Pakistan, finishing unbeaten on 46. Chris Morris and Dhananjaya de Silva are also good options for the all-rounder slot.

Bowlers

Sri Lankan veteran Lasith Malinga is looking on top of his game in this World Cup and he is the leading wicket-taker for his side. His match-winning four-wicket haul against England should do his confidence a world of good. Lungi Ngidi and Imran Tahir are the South African bowlers featuring in our Dream11 team. Ngidi has picked up four wickets since returning from injury while Tahir has been the team's best bowler in the tournament.

Captain

We have picked Quinton de Kock as the captain of our Dream11 team.

Vice-captain

The in-form Rassie van der Dussen is the vice-captain of our team.

🏆 Sri Lanka vs South Africa Prediction

Sri Lanka will be high on confidence after their stunning victory against England in their previous match and have kept their semi-final hopes alive. South Africa, on the other hand, are coming on the back of two consecutive defeats and will be dejected at not being able to make it past the league stage. They, however, are a superior side on both batting and bowling fronts when compared to Sri Lanka and we expect them to emerge victorious here.
