While defending a low score, first thing in the mind of the bowling team is to strike early. And Sri Lanka did exactly that.
On the fourth ball of the innings, Sripali Weerakkody got SA opener Lizelle Lee caught behind. The 25-year-old’s wicket was a priceless one and came at a crucial juncture of the match.
However, the Lankan bowlers failed to impose themselves on the South African batting line-up and managed to bag just one more wicket before the Proteas wrapped up the match in style, winning it by eight wickets.
