South Africa will take on Sri Lanka in the fourth game of the T20 World Cup 2024, at the Nassau County Stadium in New York, on (Monday) June 3. The Proteas have dominated the Lankans historically at the T20 World Cup. But, as both teams are braced to tussle at a neutral venue, things can turn around quickly. Neither South Africa nor Sri Lanka have played substantial cricket in the United States of America and having said that, the game will be a mouthwatering one.
Sri Lanka are marred by injuries ahead of the mega event and the team managed to hoard their players on the flight to USA. South Africa, has a balanced team on the cards and will look to leverage the forms of Heinrich Klaasen, Tristan Stubbs, and Kagiso Rabada. Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana have been out of action for a while, raising concerns about Sri Lankan momentum in the spin department.
In Group D, South Africa and Sri Lanka fixture promises to be an intense affair. Besides, the associate nations who are also part of the group have shown glimpses of orchestrating potential upset. Netherlands have a history of outclassing South Africa and Sri Lanka, while Nepal can take games down to the wire. USA thwarting Bangladesh in a series does not mean the Tigers could be taken for granted on big stages.
