SA Vs SL Dream11 Team Prediction, Match Preview, Fantasy Cricket Hints: Captain, Probable Playing 11s, Team News; Injury Updates For Today’s South Africa Vs Sri Lanka ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Match No 4 In Delhi, 2PM IST, October 7

It's time for Africa at the Cricket World Cup 2023? The time will tell that to us. The South African side, the best in cricket in the African continent, have consistently failed to make an impact on the ODI tournament over the years. South Africa have fielded one strong squad after another at the global tournament but have failed to win it, crumbling under pressure on many times. In this World Cup, the Temba Bavuma-led side will be looking to shed the tag of 'chokers' and go on to finally lift the trophy.

Facing them in their tournament opener are Sri Lanka, whose stocks may have declined in international cricket but they still remain one of the big teams in the world. Led by Dasun Shanaka, Sri Lanka will be hoping for a good show in the World Cup. The island nation have made to three ODI World Cup finals: 1996, 2007, 2011 respectively, losing two and winning one.

However, it is also true that past performances hold very less importance. The teams can look into the past to get motivate by the previous successful sides but there is nothing more than that they can derive out of the history. South Africa are favourites to win the contest vs Sri Lanka. Let's see how this game pans out. This is the first match at Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi, which has undergone some infrastructure changes. The day-night game will surely have an effect on the result of the match. The weather is cricket-friendly in Delhi with chances of rain very less during this World Cup encounter.
