PITCH REPORT - Pommie Mbangwa and Nasser Hussain are the pitch analysts for the day. Mbangwa says the sun is coming out. Tells us that it is a very big ground. From the Lumley End, the boundary at third man is the shortest at 70m and from the Finchale End, it's at 66m towards the fine leg region. Hussain from the other end says the ground dimension will help spinners. Tells historically this surface has helped pacers. On the surface, Nasser says there is a little bit of grass covering and there might be a hint of seam movement for the pace bowlers today. He feels the toss will be very important in this game.

Sri Lanka (Playing XI) - Dimuth Karunaratne(C), Kusal Perera(WK), Avishka Fernando, Kusal Mendis, Angelo Mathews, Dhananjaya de Silva, Thisara Perera, Jeevan Mendis, Isuru Udana, Lasith Malinga, Suranga Lakmal (IN for Nuwan Pradeep).

South Africa (Playing XI) - Hashim Amla, Quinton de Kock(WK), Faf du Plessis(C), Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen, JP Duminy (IN for David Miller), Andile Phehlukwayo, Dwaine Pretorius (IN for Lungi Ngidi), Chris Morris, Kagiso Rabada, Imran Tahir.

Sri Lankan skipper, Dimuth Karunaratne says they were going to bat first anyway and are just looking to put runs on the board and defend. Adds they wanted the experienced guys to lead from the front and they did in the last game. Credits Mathews for the innings he played against England in the last game.

South African skipper, Faf du Plessis says it's a fresh pitch and they are hoping for some early seam movement. Feels that it won't spin too much in the second half. Informs about the two changes, Dwaine Pretorius and JP Duminy are in for Lungi Ngidi and David Miller.

TOSS - Faf du Plessis wins the coin toss and SOUTH AFRICA WILL FIELD!

Before the start of this World Cup if you would have told me that South Africa will get knocked out before Sri Lanka then I would have either laughed it off or doubted your cricket acumen. But here we are, facing reality. The Proteas indeed are out even before the tournament started to heat up and Sri Lanka are still hanging in there, although by the skin of their teeth. This match holds more importance to them and hence there will be immense pressure. How will they tackle it against a team that has nothing to lose now? Let's find out as we welcome you all for the coverage. More updates to follow...
