South Africa are the side that wavers at critical phases of a competition, though Sri Lanka appear to raise their diversion at an ICC occasion. Sri Lanka were runner-up at both the 2007 and 2011 World Cups, they additionally made it to the last of 2009 and 2012 World Twenty20 and the semi-finals of the 2013 Champions Trophy.

The issue in 2015, dissimilar to in 2011 and 2007, is the equalization of the knocking down some pins assault. There is no Muttiah Muralitharan in the line-up any longer and that has left a major opening in the assault. A ton lays on Lasith Malinga and he is not by any means taking care of business any longer. The batting depends too intensely on Sangakkara with alternate veterans like Dilshan hosting to come to gathering inevitably. The more youthful players like Lahiru Thirimanne have demonstrated a few sparkles of their brightness. Yet the side is excessively lopsided at this time.
South Africa's issues are additionally complex. For once their batting appears to dependent on captain AB de Villiers' inventiveness. Whatever is left of the batsmen including the second best batsman on the planet, Hashim Amla, are not terminating dependably. So AB is left to do a great deal all alone. The more youthful players like David Miller and Rilee Rossouw need to venture up, while senior players like JP Duminy need to get more predictable. Shockingly, the most concerning issue is in the bowling. Dale Steyn is viable in advance, yet his accomplices Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander have never truly been steady in the ODI group.
A stellar playing execution will see Steyn upstage Pakistan's Saeed Ajmal in the ensuing bowling diagrams.
