SL vs SA Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Proteas win by six wickets


There is a huge appeal for LBW, but the ball was pitching outside leg and Miller hits a four down the ground and wins it for South Africa. It is a six-wicket win with 22 balls to spare.

SL vs SA Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Klaasen goes bang-bang

 
Over Summary: 0 0 6 4 1 0; SA 72-4 after 15 overs
David Miller (1), Heinrich Klaasen (16); Wanindu Hasaranga 3-0-17-2
 
Klaasen says he has had enough and therefore decides to go bang bang and gets two boundaries, a four and a six against Hasaranga. 
 

11:03 PM

SL vs SA Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Just three from the over

 
Over Summary: 0 0 0 1 1 1; SA 61-4 after 14 overs
David Miller (1), Heinrich Klaasen (5); Matheesha Pathirana 3-0-12-0
 
Well, it is yet again a good over for the Sri Lankan team as only three runs come from it.

David Miller (0), Heinrich Klaasen (3); Wanindu Hasaranga 2-0-6-2
 
Wicket!! Hasaranga gets the second wicket here as Asalnka takes a brilliant catch at the covers. 
 

10:53 PM

SL vs SA Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Pathirana continues

 
Over Summary: 0 L1 1 1 2 0; SA 57-3 after 12 overs
Tristan Stubbs (13), Heinrich Klaasen (2); Matheesha Pathirana 2-0-9-0
 
Pathirana continues from the other end and continues to bowl well. However, the problem is that he has been unable to get a wicket here.

SL vs SA Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Hasaranag gets De Kock

SL vs SA Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: De Kock unable to pick Pathirana

Tristan Stubbs (7), Quinton de Kock (15); Matheesha Pathirana 1-0-5-0
 
De Kock is unable to pick Pathiarana here. Only if Sri Lanka batted well enough to put up even 130, it would have been a humdinger of a match here. 
 

10:33 PM

SL vs SA Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Good bowling from Shanaka

Over Summary: 1 1 0 1 6 0; SA 39-2 after 8 overs
Tristan Stubbs (5), Quinton de Kock (14); Angelo Mathews 3-0-16-0
 
Was that an edge? Yes, it was and it just dropped ahead of Mendis behind the stumps. 
 
Almost chopped it back onto the stumps did Stubbs. 
 
Very cautious approach from the Proteas batters as Stubbs takes a single here 
 
Six!! Just as I say that de Kock smashes a huge one courtesy of a brilliant pull shot. 
 

10:25 PM

SL vs SA Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Brilliant from Shanaka

Tristan Stubbs (1), Quinton de Kock (6); Nuwan Thushara 3-0-18-1
 
The powerplay has come to an end and would you believe that South Africa has scored only 27 runs and could have lost three wickets in it?
 

10:22 PM

SL vs SA Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Wicket maiden from Shanaka

 
Over Summary: 0 W 0 0 0 0; SA 23-2 after 5 overs
Tristan Stubbs (0), Quinton de Kock (5); Dasun Shanaka 1-1-0-1
 
Edge and taken. That would be the end of Markram here as Shanaka strikes with his second ball in his first over. 
 
Dropped!! That would have been a double wicket maiden for Shanaka but Keusla Mendis dropped a regulation catch here. Had that been taken things would have been completely different. 
 

10:19 PM

SL vs SA Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Markram hits six

 
Over Summary: 0 6 2 1 0 0; SA 14-1 after 4 overs
Aiden Markram (12), Quinton de Kock (5); Nuwan Thushara 2-0-16-1
 
Aiden Markram has hit a six here and that would help the cause of his team as they are struggling to get big runs. 
 

10:03 PM

SL vs SA Live Score Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Good over from Mathews

 
Over Summary: 0 0 0 0 0 1; SA 14-1 after 3 overs
Aiden Markram (3), Quinton de Kock (5); Angelo Mathews 2-0-7-0
 
Hueg apple for LBW by Mathews. Though the umpire gave it not-out, Markram is down and grimacing very badly as the ball seems to have hit him in the groin area. The physio is out in the middle and helping the Proteas skipper get back on his feet. 
 
Single off the last ball will mean it is not a maiden over by Mathews.
 

South Africa beat Sri Lanka in match 5 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 by six wickets and with 22 balls to spare at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in Long Island, New York on Monday, June 3. 

The Proteas chased a low target of 78. However, it was not an easy chase as they lost quick wickets and the runs were not easy to come by. Wanindu Hasaranga picked two wickets for the Lankan team while Quinton de Kok top-scored with 20 runs for South Africa. 

Earlier, the Lankans were rolled over for 77 in 19.2 overs thanks to a fiery spell of 4/7 from Anrich Nortje. This was Lanka's lowest-ever total in T20 World Cup history. 

SL skipper Hasaranag won the toss and decided to bat first against South Africa. While the Lankan team went in with four spin-bowling options, the Proteas have played Keshav Maharaj as the only spinner in their attack. 

This match marked the first-ever international game at the venue.
