Sri Lanka failed to make an impact in the warm-up games as they lost the first match against Bangladesh after failing to defend 263 runs. The same situation happened with Afghanistan as Sri Lanka again failed to defend 294 runs. With players like Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Perera, Sri Lanka has a respectable batting lineup. The big-hitting prowess of veteran wicketkeeper-batter Kusal Mendis would also be vital. Maheesh Theekshana and the talented left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage are expected to take wickets for Sri Lanka. South Africa's warm-up games were subpar as their first game against Afghanistan was completely washed out. But in the 2nd game, the Proteas suffered a loss at the hands of the New Zealand team as they failed to chase down 321 runs. The team captain Temba Bavuma and powerful hitter David Miller have been playing well recently and will put significant effort to help the team. Quinton de Kock and Bavuma will lead the team from the top. South Africa will rely on Kagiso Rabada's expertise and spinner Keshav Maharaj for wickets.
