All eyes on Rohit ahead of champions trophy
South Africa Vs Srilanka Preview
Group B will host the first event of the tournament. Birmingham,which is the home ground for group b will host the tournament. Like london,pitch is expected to assist batsmen.South Africa could not ask for a better team to play against to start. Srilanka are the weak link in their group. Though they are no 1 side, they are coming after a series defeat against England. Little bit of confidence will help them start their campaign.
South Africa
Quinton De Kock has regained some shape in the final match against England. Hashim Amla also performed in the game. They can easily dominate the minnows, Srilanka. AB De Villiers, who had the worst of his IPL’s,did not perfom in recent series against England. Their middle order is looking fragile. Unlike most modern day teams, South Africa does not bat deep. they highly rely on their top 7.Its almost over when they lose their seven wickets. Imran tahir, who is the best south African spinner these, is undergoing a crises. Their management tried with Kesav maharaj in the second ODI against England, did not yield good result. Their Bowling is also not looking so ominous, Kagiso Rabada should take extra onus to make them win the tournament.
Srilanka
They are side undergoing through transition. But for how many days, they suddenly turned in to underdogs after the adieu of Sangakara, Jayawardane and Dilshan. Lasith Malinga is representing his country only in major tournaments. Angelo Mathews is not injury proof either. Now and again he gets injured. They are the sided which hardly have stars. They are expected to lose all their group games. Their best chance to win a game in the series is against Pakistan.
