2024 T20 WC Match 4 SL Vs SAF: Preview
The first blockbuster match of the tournament will see the two heavyweights looking to start their tournament right.
A decade after their first and, as of yet, last T20 World Cup title, Sri Lanka will look to return to global relevance in cricket with a solid core of players. With genuine world-class talent on their side, the Lankans will be dark horses in this tournament who will look to match reality with their soaring ambitions and reach the semifinals of the tournament at the very least.
South Africa too comes in this tournament as one of the favourites. In fact, this squad might be a sleeper pick for the best in the tournament. Many of the players from this squad were dominating in the IPL not over two weeks ago. With this likely being their most talented squad in a few years, South Africa will be looking to break the curse and finally win a World Cup.

2024 T20 WC SL vs SAF Pitch Report
The pitch here was imported from Adelaide, Australia. So assuming it will play like the Adelaide surface, the pitch will be batter-friendly as it will be flat with some decent bounce.
But in the warm-up game between India and Bangladesh, we saw the pitch was a little sticky, with fast bowlers and spinners using how the ball drastically slowed down after the bounce to their advantage.

SL vs SA Dream11 Prediction T20 World Cup
This will be the first match of the tournament where the wider cricketing world will be familiar with most of the players. While Sri Lanka and South Africa are not as good as their 2000s peak, They have the ability to defeat any of the teams in this tournament on their day. So putting them in the proverbial group of death has made the tournament that much more exciting.

So keeping in mind how players from these teams have been playing recently, South Africa will go into this one as the favourites
