T20 World Cup 2024: South Africa have created history in their group stage fixture against Sri Lanka at the T20 World Cup 2024, as the Proteas handed the Lankan Lions an unwanted record. Sri Lanka were bundled out for 77 and with that, they have now recorded their lowest ever score in Men’s T20I’s. This is also the lowest score of the tournament so far, beating the 109-run mark managed by both Namibia and Oman in the morning (as they both went into a super over after the draw).
Anrich Nortje was the architect of the demolition as he recorded a career-best figures of 4/7 in his 4 overs, as no Sri Lankan batter managed to score even 30 runs on a difficult surface of Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
