Explanation

Prepositional Phrase: In English grammar, the adjective confident is typically followed by the preposition of when expressing certainty about a future outcome or achievement.

Gerund Usage: After the preposition 'of,' the verb must be in its gerund form (winning) rather than the infinitive form ('to win').

Correct Sentence: She is confident of winning the match.
