T20 World Cup: Anrich Nortje's 4-7 Sets Up South Africa’s Tricky Six-wicket Win Over Sri Lanka (ld)
Nassau County International Cricket Stadium: Tearaway pacer Anrich Nortje picked career-best figures of 4-7 to lead a dominant and disciplined bowling performance from South Africa and set up their six-wicket win over Sri Lanka in their Group D match of 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on Monday.
The teams were greeted by a two-paced pitch having variable bounce and some swing on offer, leading to a challenge for batters in bringing out their strokeplay on a bowler-friendly surface. In such conditions, Nortje made merry with his impeccable accuracy in varying pace, line, and length to be the pick of bowlers for South Africa as they bowled out a listless Sri Lanka for just 77 in 19.1 overs.
Ottneil Baartman, Keshav Maharaj, and Kagiso Rabada were amongst the wickets through their impressive spells to bowl out Sri Lanka for their lowest-ever total in men’s T20Is. In reply, South Africa managed to complete the chase with 22 balls to spare and kick off their campaign in emphatic fashion.
