South Africa and Sri Lanka meet in the fourth match of the 2023 Cricket World Cup on Saturday afternoon at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. South Africa has a history of underperforming in big moments, finishing seventh in England four years ago. They were a major disappointment in the previous Cricket World Cup, but early indications suggest that they could be genuine contenders for this tournament in India. They defeated Australia after coming back from a two-match deficit. South Africa should be too strong for Sri Lanka in this match. Last month, Sri Lanka won the 2022 Asia Cup (T20I) and advanced to the final of the 2023 competition in this format. They have struggled against the top sides in this format in recent years, but they have players who can cause South Africa problems.

Most analysts would have written off South Africa’s chances of competing in this tournament four weeks ago, but their victory over Australia has caused many to reconsider. Similarly, Sri Lanka was on a long winning streak before abruptly losing their way near the end of the 2023 Asia Cup. This match will be won by the team that is able to adjust to the pace of the wicket. We expect South Africa to win, and we are rooting for them. Considering the team combination, South Africa is expected to win this match.
