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

In its last match, while chasing 233 runs, it defeated Bangladesh by three wickets. With their momentum, South Africa will be confident of winning the upcoming matches as well.
