Sri Lanka took on Bangladesh and Afghanistan in their two warm-up games but succumbed to a loss in both games. Furthermore, they lost against the Indian team in the summit clash of the recently concluded Asia Cup 2023 as well. As the World Cup approaches, it could be interesting to see how the side fares against South Africa.
On the other hand, South Africa has also not been able to accumulate positive results in the warm-up games as well. The Proteas took on Afghanistan and New Zealand in the warm-up games; the first game was abandoned, and South Africa lost their second warm-up game against New Zealand.
