South Africa vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Prediction CWC: After strong performances in the World Cups in the 90s and the 2000s, South Africa and Sri Lanka have been disappointed in recent ICC tournaments, failing to make it to the semi-finals since 2015. They will clash in the fourth match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023

While South Africa automatically qualified for the tournament, Sri Lanka won the World Cup qualifiers earlier this year to book their place in the biggest cricketing event of the year.
The two teams will also have very different roads to travel before the World Cup. While the African nation will be toured by Australia for a long tour right before the World Cup, Sri Lanka will defend their Aisa Cup title against strong teams like India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh.

South Africa vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Prediction CWC: Players to Watch
South Africa
South Africa’s biggest names already have a bevy of experience playing in India, with the likes of Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada, and Anrich Nortje having spent years playing in the IPL. They will be the key to the team’s success.
The spin duo of Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj will also play vital roles on several spin factory tracks that the team will play on.
It is the team’s middle order that will provide stability to their inning. The likes of Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, and David Miller are perfect ODI batsmen.
Sri Lanka
The team will rely heavily on their most experienced players. Leg-spinning all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga and batting all-rounder Dhananjaya de Silva are surely the pick of the bunch.
The pace-spin duo of Matheesha Patheerana and Maheesh Theekshana have been performing well for the national side along with playing a crucial role in Chennai Super Kings’ IPL win.

South Africa vs Sri Lanka Dream11 Prediction CWC and Pitch Report
South Africa looks like the stronger team in all departments on paper besides spin. Sri Lanka will surely have to play out of their shoes and be more than the sum of their parts to do well in the tournament. The Lankans will also require exceptional performances from their biggest stars if they are to win this match.
The pitch of the Arun Jaitley Stadium is very malleable, as in, it has been changed to benefit different aspects of the game on different occasions over the past few years. Although, it naturally favors pace and spin as the ball sticks to the wicket.
With that being said, it will be South Africa’s stronger batting unit that will make the change in this particular game
Prediction: South Africa will win Match 4 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 against Sri Lanka
