Pitch report:

The pitch at Chester-le-Street favours the batsmen. Going by the history, the team winning the toss should opt to bowl as only five times out of 14 the results have gone in favour of the team batting first. However, in the last five ODIs, the average score is lesser than expected.

Talking about the points table, Sri Lanka is placed on number seven with six points. A win here would further escalate their chances for the semi-finals of the CWC 2019. South Africa is placed on number nine with only three points in their kitty.
