CHESTER-LE-STREET: Faf du Plessis and Hashim Amla struck unbeaten half-centuries as South Africa cruised to a nine-wicket victory at the Riverside Ground on Friday to put a major dent in Sri Lanka’s hopes of reaching the Cricket World Cup semi-finals.
Sri Lanka needed victory to move level with fourth-placed England in the race for semi-final places but struggled with bat and ball against an opponent who have now beaten them in 17 of their last 19 meetings. “We showed the basics of batting we have not had guys score big runs and build partnerships by going all the way through the innings. It made a huge difference today.”
But Pretorius picked up both their wickets and slowed the run-rate, with seamer Chris Morris also collecting key scalps, including that of Angelo Mathews .
