This article will cover match details, pitch report, playing XI, player stats, Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips for the SL vs SA match.
Match Preview
Sri Lanka, led by the wily spin maestro Wanindu Hasaranga, has a potent bowling attack with Hasaranga himself alongside the experience of veteran all-rounder Angelo Mathews, who’s set for a record sixth T20 World Cup appearance. Their batting will rely heavily on the likes of Kusal Mendis and Dhananjaya de Silva to provide a solid foundation.
South Africa, under the captaincy of Aiden Markram, will open their tournament campaign. David Miller, Heinrich Klaasen, and the exciting young talent Tristan Stubbs bring firepower to the middle and lower-middle order. However, the Proteas, heading into another ICC event will look to shrug off the chokers tag and clinch the coveted trophy.
Sri Lanka’s spin attack will aim to exploit any weaknesses in the South African batting, while the Proteas will look to counter with their explosive batting lineup. The team that adapts better to the new conditions in New York and executes their plans flawlessly will take a giant leap towards securing a semifinal spot.

Pitch Report
In the warmup game between India and Bangladesh, it was evident that the pitch provided uneven bounce and the slow outfield hampered boundary-scoring. Batters will need to play more lofted shots. The toss-winning captain should opt to bat first.
