South Africa is one of the major contenders for the ODI World Cup title this year. Before coming to India, the Proteas featured in an ODI series against Australia on home soil. After losing the first two matches, the hosts scripted a roaring comeback in the five-match series to register a 3-2 victory. South Africa, however, failed to continue the winning momentum in the only warm-up game they have played in Indian conditions. They were up against New Zealand and endured a close 7-run defeat in the rain-affected match.
In their ODI World Cup opener, South Africa will go head-to-head against Sri Lanka on October 7. The Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi will host the fixture at 2 PM IST on Saturday.
Sri Lanka booked their ticket to the World Cup after triumphing in the qualifiers. The Islander nation maintained an unbeaten streak throughout the campaign before crushing the Netherlands in the final. Sri Lanka also put up a commendable performance in the Asia Cup on home soil. They upset Pakistan in the Super 4 round before losing the final to India. Sri Lanka, however, failed to win any of their World Cup warm-up matches, losing to Bangladesh and Afghanistan respectively.
