England: Reece Topley is currently sidelined due to an injury and will not be participating in the ongoing tournament. In the upcoming match against Sri Lanka, it’s likely that one change will be made to the team’s lineup. Liam Livingstone is expected to make his return, possibly replacing Gus Atkinson, who may find himself omitted from the playing XI once more.

Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka has made a strategic move by bringing in Angelo Mathews as a replacement for the injured Matheesha Pathirana. This experienced all-rounder is set to make an immediate impact and is expected to join the squad for the match against England on Thursday.

As the England team is stronger around the side than the Sri Lanka team in all aspects, England will win in our predictions.

South Africa: Jos Buttler(C & WK), Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook, Mark Wood, Adil Rashid, Sam Curran, David Willey, Gus Atkinson.

Sri Lanka: Kusal Mendis(C & WK), Pathum Nissanka, Kusal Perera, Dushan Hemantha, Chamika Karunaratne, Kasun Rajitha, Dilshan Madushanka, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Charith Asalanka, Maheesh Theekshana, Dhananjaya de Silva.
