Sri Lanka vs South Africa prediction

South Africa are cooking on gas right now and looking very much like a team capable of World Cup glory with their batting shining in particular. It’s three games played and three wins since that horror-show against England, which the Proteas have done incredibly well to put behind them so quick. They are now operating like a well-oiled machine and a semi-final place is within reach.

For Sri Lanka though, it’s been a different story. They remain one of just two teams still without a win in the group stage and a washout against New Zealand compounded their misery after having put a very competitive score of 258/6 on the board. When things like that don’t go your way, you begin to wonder whether things just aren’t meant to be. South Africa are playing like a juggernaut right now and have to be favoured here.
