Preview :

The T20 World Cup 2024 will get its first big-ticket clash as Sri Lanka take on South Africa in New York. Notably, this clash will be the first T20I at the newly built Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. Further, this Group D fixture will also see one of the tournament’s best batting lineups facing off against one of the best bowling attacks which could lead to a thrilling contest.

Sri Lanka have emerged as one of the dark horse teams to make a deep run in the tournament on the back of a well-rounded bowling attack. But their biggest concern will be the batting which hasn’t managed to up massive totals consistently and batters like Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka and Wanindu Hasaranga will be crucial. On the bowling front, the Lankans boast of a fearsome attack with various options in both the spin and pace departments.

On the other hand, South Africa have once again been deemed as one of the tournament favourites with a well-rounded squad led by an aggressive batting lineup. Barring the out-of-form Quinton de Kock, all batters have been in magnificent form with Henrich Klassen, Reeza Hendricks, David Miller and Tristan Stubbs being the key players. Talking about the bowling attack, the Proteas have some of the best pacers in the world and have an experienced spin-bowling pair of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi.

The middle-order batter amassed 479 runs, including four half-centuries and as he’s arguably the best spin hitter in the world at the moment. Sri Lanka’s bowling attack will depend quite a lot on their spinners. One of the best captaincy choice for grand league.

Reeza Hendricks :
