The Cricket World Cup got underway on Thursday with the defending champions, England, up against New Zealand. New Zealand claimed a major victory over the defending champions by nine wickets in the 50-over World Cup game. 

Delhi is reportedly not a high scoring venue with slow pitches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and we’re yet to see what the teams bring to the table. 

The teams fielded for today’s clash is as follows;

SOUTH AFRICA: Quinton de Kock (wk), Temba Bavuma (capt), Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Gerald Coetzee, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi

SRI LANKA: Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Kusal Mendis (wk), Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Dhananjaya de Silva, Dasun Shanaka (capt), Dunith Wellalage, Kasun Rajitha, Dilshan Madushanka, Matheesha Pathirana
