SRI LANKA SUFFER A MAJOR DEFEAT AT THE HANDS OF SOUTH AFRICA

(UTV|COLOMBO) – Sri Lanka’s hopes of reaching the World Cup semi-finals were dented as South Africa thrashed them by nine wickets at Chester-le-Street.

Victory would have taken Sri Lanka level on points with fourth-placed England, but they stay in seventh.

No player scored more than 30 as they were bowled out for just 203 in 49.3 Overs.

South Africa won with 76 balls to spare, with Faf du Plessis making 96 not out and Hashim Amla an unbeaten 80.
