Sri Lanka on the verge of making into the semis with their crucial match today against South Africa. If Sri Lanka wins then it would turn out as the most cheerful day for the Lankan fans. Everything seems so far so good for Lanka but if South Africa plays good cricket then it will hurt a lot. Lankan fans will be hopeful for a big win over miserable SA.
At Chester-le- Street, it’s going to be a good contest. There would be lot of buzz around and will make this match much interesting. Lankan fans will be keen to watch their team wins to make a mark. The win for Sri Lanka against South Africa may not seal their berth in semis. But, it’s crucial for them to win this match.
Other teams such as England, Pakistan, Bangladesh will hope SA should win today’s match. West Indies, Afghanistan and South Africa are already out of making into the semis. The entire match between SA and SL will be entertaining to watch today.
2019 world cup has extracted great efforts from the teams like Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. Afghanistan was top in their game against India till the end of the match. But, Mohammad Shami of India took four crucial wickets to make an Indian win possible from nowhere. Yesterday, India again tested by West Indies and scored a modest 268 and yet again Shami came for India’s rescue.
Lankan fans will be hoping that their team might not upset them today at least. With two Lankan games washed away and they gained 2 points without playing seems it could be yet another.
