SA vs SL Match Prediction – Who will win the 4th ODI World Cup match today?


Will face South Africa in the fourth match of 2023 ODI World Cup (SA) clash with former champions Sri Lanka (sl) On Saturday, October 7 in Delhi. South Africa will be high on confidence after coming from 0-2 down against Australia to win the five-match ODI series 3-2. Most of the players who could have been in the final eleven were in good form against the Australian team.

Captain Temba Bavuma has led the way from the front this year, scoring 637 runs in 10 ODIs at an impressive average of 79.62 and a strike rate of 104.08. Quinton de Kock and David Miller have a lot of experience playing in India and their immense knowledge of the conditions will be a good sign for the team. Players like Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen scored sensational centuries against Australia and they will be looking to continue their purple patch.

Anrich Nortje was ruled out of this important event due to injury and it was a huge blow for the Proteas. However, the form Marco Jansson has shown with both bat and ball will give them a lot of confidence. If Kagiso Rabada can return to his peak and lead the fast bowling attack, South Africa There are two good spinners, Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi, who can do good damage. They lost the warm-up match against New Zealand by seven runs on the basis of Duckworth-Lewis (DLS method), but that will not worry them too much.

Sri Lanka is entering this prestigious tournament on the back of a crushing defeat against India in the Asia Cup 2023 final. Dasun Shanaka’s team performed well to book a place in the summit clash with wins against Pakistan and Bangladesh. However, Mohammed Siraj’s fiery spell in the final was too much for him and he surrendered 50 runs, allowing India to chase down the modest target without any fuss. The ‘Lankan Lions’ also faced defeats against Bangladesh and Afghanistan in practice games.

Kusal Mendis’s form has been good news for Sri Lanka heading into the tournament. He was the leading run-scorer for his team in the Asia Cup 2023 with 270 runs in six matches. In the practice game against Afghanistan, Mendis played a breathtaking inning of 158 runs off 87 balls. Wanindu Hasaranga’s injury is a big disappointment for Sri Lanka but they have players like Lahiru Kumara and Dilshan Madushanka back.

Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report:

The Arun Jaitley Stadium is traditionally slow and spinners have a good time bowling here. The batsmen need to give themselves time in the middle before hitting some extraordinary shots. For the captain who wins the toss at this venue, bowling first to assess the pitch may be the right option.

Potential Best Performer:

Probable best batsman:

Kusal Mendis (Sri Lanka):

The wicketkeeper-batsman has the ability to play the ball to his ability and that quality will stand him in good stead on an expectedly sluggish wicket at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Mendis will be full of confidence after his recent form but he will have to be careful not to lose his wicket once he is set.

Probable best bowler:

Kagiso Rabada (South Africa):

The right-arm fast bowler played a lot of cricket at the Arun Jaitley Stadium during his time at Delhi Capitals. Rabada will know how to use the pitch to his advantage. The Sri Lankan batsmen were in trouble against Siraj in the Asia Cup final and Rabada has the potential to give them a similar nightmare.
