SL vs SA Match 4 T20 WC 2024 - when and where to watch, venue, most likely playing XIs, full squad details, Pitch Report, Weather and more
Riding high on the momentum of consecutive 2-1 series victories against Afghanistan and Bangladesh in respective three-match T20I series, Sri Lanka would be brimming with confidence. However, they experienced mixed fortunes in their warm-up fixtures against the Netherlands and Ireland. Nonetheless, they'll be aiming to commence their campaign on a positive note.
Conversely, South Africa, having recently suffered a whitewash at the hands of co-hosts, the West Indies, in a three-match T20I series, would have had their confidence somewhat shaken. However, several key players were rested during that series. With their star players returning, South Africa will be eager to make a strong comeback. They will draw confidence from their favorable head-to-head record in T20Is as well as their track record against the Lankans in this tournament.
