Sri Lanka vs South Africa Betting Tips

Got a free bet but don’t know what to wager it on? Consider the below SL vs SA betting tips from the 4th group-stage game of the 2024 T20 World Cup, which our team at CBA thinks could well turn out correct.

  • South Africa to win, hit the most sixes and win an opening partnership: 3.00 (Melbet)
  • Pathum Nissanka to score minimum 19.5 runs and Matheesha Pathirana to take minimum 1.5 wickets: 4.75 (Melbet)
  • Sri Lanka to hit the most sixes and Wanindu Hasaranga to be the top bowler for their team: 8.00 (Melbet)

Sri Lanka vs South Africa Todays' Match Prediction

  • Sri Lanka vs. South Africa Win Probability: SL (35%), SA (65%)
  • In the last five T20Is between both teams, South Africa has won all.
  • In the T20 World Cup, the two teams have faced each other in four matches, with South Africa winning three and Sri Lanka winning just one.
  • Sri Lanka is reliant on an experienced spin bowling attack and a solid middle-order batting unit.
  • South Africa, on the other hand, has a power-packed batting lineup and a quality bowling attack that has a good blend of experience in two of the best left-arm spinners (Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj).
  • The Nassau County Stadium is one of the smallest venues for the T20 World Cup. The wicket is expected to favour fast bowlers, thanks to the additional bounce on offer, while also proving conducive to spin.
Sri Lanka vs South Africa Match Prediction

Sri Lanka has played consistent cricket in 2024 and has arguably the best spin-bowling attack in the tournament. However, their batting unit might be lacking in firepower. Conversely, South Africa has a strong batting lineup and a balanced squad overall. Historically, the Proteas have had a better record against Sri Lanka in T20 World Cup games as well as T20Is.

Considering both teams' current form and the expected conditions in New York, we at CBA are putting our money on South Africa to win the match.

Key Players

Sri Lanka

  • Pathum Nissanka: The 26-year-old right-hander has been in prolific form for the last six months. This year, Nissanka has scored 133 runs in six T20Is so far. In the solitary T20I he has played against the Proteas, Nissanka has scored 72 runs. His aggressive starts at the top of the order against the fiery South African attack will be crucial.
  • Wanindu Hasaranga: The Lankan captain and the world's second-best T20I bowler at the moment, Hasaranga has scored 117 runs and taken 13 wickets in the seven T20Is he's played in 2024. Across his 16 T20 World Cup appearances, Hasaranga has amassed 144 runs and claimed 31 wickets. His all-around ability, coupled with his leadership as a captain, makes him a key player to watch out for.
  • Angelo Matthews: One of the most experienced all-rounders, Angelo Matthews has played in 29 T20 World Cup matches to date, scoring 459 runs and taking 19 wickets. His experience in high-pressure situations can prove to be game-changing, especially against a team where he has performed well; Matthews has scored 122 runs and picked up two wickets in their last seven T20Is.

South Africa

  • Reeza Hendricks: In the recently concluded T20I series against the West Indies, Reeza Hendricks scored 127 runs in three matches and was the top scorer for his team. He is also the leading runscorer for the Proteas against Sri Lanka, having piled on 322 runs in nine matches. He is a very good player of spin and is the in-form batter for South Africa.
  • Heinrich Klaasen: One of the biggest hitters of the cricket ball at the moment and a consistent runscorer in the shortest format over the last two years, Klaasen has amassed 263 runs in his last 15 T20I appearances. Given the high-scoring conditions at the venue and Sri Lanka's quality spin attack, Klaasen will be key to South Africa's success.
  • Aiden Markram: Despite his lack of form at the moment, Markram is still a big-match player who thrives under pressure. He's also leading the team right now after Temba Bavuma. Also handy with the ball, Markram needs to step in and contribute both with the bat and as the skipper.

Where to Watch?

The 2024 T20 World Cup begins on 2nd June and will be hosted by the United States and the Caribbean. Viewers in India will be able to livestream all the matches from the high-octane tournament on the Disney+Hotstar app.
