South Africa (SA) will take on Sri Lanka (SL) in the fourth match of the ICC World Cup 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, India, on Saturday, October 7. Ahead of the game, here's all you need to know about the SA vs SL Dream11 prediction, playing XIs, fantasy cricket tips, and pitch report.
South Africa are once again walking into another World Cup as one of the favourites. They have been good in ODIs in recent times. The Temba Bavuma-led side will have the confidence of a brilliant show against Australia with them. Besides, the firepower of Heinrich Klaasen and David Miller in the middle order will make them a team to contend with in the tournament. Their only concern will be the absence of form in the pace attack.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will be taking confidence from their run to the finals of the Asia Cup 2023. However, they would look to forget their performance in the final against India and put their best foot forward in the World Cup 2023.

SA vs SL, Pitch Report
The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium will provide help for the spinners. Both teams will look to field first in this match and give their spinners the best conditions to bowl.

SA vs SL Dream11 Match Top Picks
Wicketkeeper - Heinrich Klaasen
This category contains some classy and in-form batters. But Heinrich Klaasen's recent form and his ability to play spin make him the best wicketkeeper choice for the match.
Batter - Sadeera Samarawickrama
This Sri Lankan batter has been in good form since the Asia Cup 2023. He is a consistent run-scorer and a great player of spin. Samarawickrama will be a good choice from the batters category for this match.
All-rounder - Dunith Wellalage
Dunith Wellalage is an all-rounder who can contribute effectively with both the bat and the ball. His ability to pick up points in both innings of the match makes Wellalage a great choice from the all-rounder category.
Bowler - Keshav Maharaj
The fact that the game will be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium makes Keshav Maharaj a good choice. Maharaj can be effective with his bowling in the middle overs and can also be handy with the bat lower down the order.
SA vs SL match captain and vice-captain choices
Heinrich Klaasen
The South African batter is in God mode at present. Klaasen is a very good player of spin and his current batting form makes him a brilliant choice as the captain or vice-captain of the match.
Sadeera Samarawickrama
Much like Klaasen, Samarawickrama is also a very good player of spin. The Sri Lankans will depend heavily on him in the middle overs. Samarawickrama's consistency makes him a good choice as the captain or vice-captain of the match.
