SA vs SL Match Preview:
Sri Lanka will be desperate for their first win of the ongoing World Cup when they take on South Africa. Two of their four matches so far have been washed out, while the other two ended in losses. Sri Lanka looked destined to win their last match against New Zealand, but rain played spoilsport.
On a tough batting pitch in Colombo, they scored 258/6, the highest score at the venue in the ongoing tournament. However, the second innings of the match could not take place due to rain. With just two points from four matches, Sri Lanka are currently at seventh spot in the points table.

In their last match, they inflicted a three-wicket defeat on Bangladesh while chasing 233 runs. With momentum on their side, South Africa will be confident of winning the upcoming match too.
