- Sri Lanka vs South Africa Highlights, T20 World Cup 2024 Match 4: Anrich Nortje claimed a four-fer as the Proteas beat Sri Lanka by 6 wickets.
Sri Lanka vs South Africa Highlights, T20 World Cup 2024 Match 4: South Africa started their campaign on a positive note with a 6-wicket win. Chasing a paltry 78-run target, David Miller scored the winning runs for the Proteas as they clinched the win with 22 balls to spare. The Lankan bowlers tried to fight back but the batters didn't give them much to fight for. Heinrich Klaasen remained unbeaten on 19, while Quinton de Kock also scored 20 for the Proteas....Read More
The Sri Lankan batters failed to put up any fight on a tricky surface and were bundled out for just 77 in 19.1 overs against South Africa. Anrich Nortje was the pick of the bowlers for the Proteas with a four-fer while Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj picked two wickets each.
Sri Lanka skipper Wanindu Hasaranga won the toss and elected to bat first against Aiden Makram's South Africa in New York. The Proteas decided to sit out Tabraiz Shamsi and Gerald Coetzee for the crucial clash, while Sri Lanka start with Nuwan Thushara and Matheesha Pathirana with their two front-line pacers.
The T20 World Cup 2024 has started with a bang with the first three matches turning out to be thrillers as the USA chased down their record target in an opener while the next two matches witnessed low-scoring nail-biters. In the fourth match, South Africa and Sri Lanka will lock horns against each other which is expected to be another thriller at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York.
Aiden Markram will be leading the Proteas for the first time in an ICC event, and he has a point to prove as South Africa have not lived up to expectations in the last couple of T20 World Cups. However, this year, they have a formidable unit and are termed one of the title contenders with an explosive batting unit, including Quinton de Kock, Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, Tristan and David Miller. While Kagiso Rabada will lead the bowling unit in the mega ICC event and Tabraiz Shamsi being the only proven spinner in the squad. Anrich Nortje is still finding his range after coming back from an injury and had an underwhelming IPL where he conceded more than 11 runs an over.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will rely heavily on their bowling unit to move ahead in the tournament as they have quality spinners in Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana, while Matheesha Pathirana and Dilshan Madhushanka hold the key in the pace department. It will certainly worry a set of Lankan spinners such as captain Wanindu Hasaranga (economy 7.42) and Maheesh Theekshana (6.71), both of whom had to battle injuries in the recent past.
Lanka will also hope that the New York pitch will continue to offer some help to the bowlers as it had happened in Saturday's warm-up match between India and Bangladesh, where a few deliveries did not rise above the ankle and knee level. They have the experienced Angelo Mathews, the explosive Kusal Mendis and the rock-solid Dhananjaya de Silva to bank on while the former captain Dasun Shanaka can make a few quick runs down the order.
Squads
South Africa: Aiden Markram (c), Ottniel Baartman, Gerald Coetzee, Quinton de Kock, Bjorn Fortuin, Reeza Hendricks, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, David Miller, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs.
Sri Lanka: Wanindu Hasaranga (c), Charith Asalanka, Kusal Mendis, Pathum Nissanka, Kamindu Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Angelo Mathews, Dasun Shanaka, Dhananjaya De Silva, Maheesh Theekshana, Dunith Wellalage, Dushmantha Chameera, Nuwan Thushara, Matheesha Pathirana, Dilshan Madushanka.

‘Practicing on these drop-in wickets is hard’: Anrich Nortje
South Africa paceman Anrich Nortje was named Player of the Match for his four-fer as he talked about his performance after the match-winning performance.
"Definitely, this will get some momentum going. Tough few days, we've worked hard and it's nice to get some momentum. Very happy, I've been feeling good from the last few games, finally great to have a good game and get a few wickets. The guys did well to restrict them to a low score. Been a while since I got many wickets and was happy to be helpful in the team's win," Nortje said.
The Proteas paceman further talked about the pitch and said that it was a tricky one and admitted that practising on drop-in wickets is hard.
"We needed to assess as quickly as possible (on the conditions), it was up and down at times (on the wicket), I needed to hit my straps, hit the wicket hard, it was important that we got some early wickets. It was a tough one, practicing on these drop-in wickets is hard, we weren't able to bowl on the pitch on the pre-match day, the plans were simple, that helped me, I just need to get my rhythm better in the next few games," he concluded.
