South Africa had registered its third consecutive win in the tournament by defeating Bangladesh in the last over in its previous match. With this victory, South Africa has reached third place. Sri Lanka’s last match was canceled due to bad weather. Sri Lanka has not been able to win even a single match so far.

Whereas the result of 3 matches could not be found. Both the teams faced each other 6 times in the ODI World Cup between 2000 and 2017. In this, South Africa won 4 times and Sri Lanka won 2 times.

In Clarke-Malaba form Nadine de Klerk, Chloe Tryon, Nonkululeko Malaba and Marizanne Kapp are in excellent form from the South African team. Clarke is the top scorer and Malaba is the top wicket taker. In such a situation, everyone’s eyes will be on these players even today.

Expectations from Atapattu-Ranaweera Chamari Atapattu and Enoka Ranaweera can impress with their performance in the Sri Lankan team. Both have performed brilliantly for the team.
