Africa are the favorites to win the match against Sri Lanka in the ICC World
Cup 2023. They have a more balanced team, with a strong batting lineup and a
bowling attack that can perform on any surface.

Dussen, all of whom are in good form. They also have a number of big-hitting
players in the middle order, such as David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen.

the best bowlers in the world. They also have a number of other good bowlers,
such as Andile Phehlukwayo and Tabraiz Shamsi.
Sri
Lanka have a number of talented players, such as Kusal Mendis, Charith
Asalanka, and Wanindu Hasaranga, but they are not as consistent as South
