Preview:
Sri Lanka (SL) are set to lock horns with South Africa (SA) in the 4th match of the 2024 T20 World Cup. The two will meet at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Monday, June 3. Both the teams are in Group D along with Netherlands, Nepal and Bangladesh.
South Africa, led by Aiden Markram, have a formidable batting unit with the presence of lethal finishers like David Miller, Henrich Klaasen and Tristan Stubbs. On the other hand, Sri Lanka are strong in their spin attack led by captain Wanindu Hasaranga himself.
