Sri Lanka vs South Africa Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024 Match Today: Wanindu Hasaranga’s Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat first against Aiden Markram’s South Africa.
It will be a battle between Sri Lanka’s T20 specialists and South Africa’s power-hitter. Sri Lanka will lock horns against Aiden Markram’s South Africa at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
A batting line-up consisting of captain Aiden Markram, wicketkeeper batter Heinrich Klaasen, Quinton de Kock, David Miller and Tristan Stubbs could be a nightmare for any bowling attack. In IPL 2024 too, Klaasen made 471 runs from 16 matches at a strike rate of 171 for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Stubbs has been equally impressive for Delhi Capitals, amassing 378 runs from 14 matches at a strike rate of 190.
It will certainly worry a set of Lankan spinners such as captain Wanindu Hasaranga (economy 7.42) and Maheesh Theekshana (6.71), both of whom had to battle injuries in the recent past. The SA attack does not have too much variety in its bowling unit as it largely revolves around pacer Kagiso Rabada and left-arm wrist-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi.
