T20 World Cup: Nortje's 4-7 Helps Dominant South Africa Bowl Out Listless Sri Lanka For 77
Nassau County International Cricket Stadium: Tearaway pacer Anrich Nortje picked career-best figures of 4-7 to lead a dominant bowling performance from South Africa as they bowled out a listless Sri Lanka for just 77 in their Group D match of 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on Monday.
On a two-paced pitch with variable bounce and some swing on offer, Nortje made merry with his impeccable accuracy in varying pace, line, and length to be the pick of bowlers for South Africa. Ottneil Baartman, Keshav Maharaj, and Kagiso Rabada were amongst the wickets with their impressive spells to bowl out Sri Lanka for their lowest-ever total in men’s T20Is.
Sri Lanka were never allowed to get going from the start, being caught in two minds when faced with probing questions posed by South Africa’s bowlers and suffered from poor shot selection as none of the batters touched even 20. The score of 77 is also the lowest total South Africa has ever bowled out an opponent for in men’s T20Is.
