Tazmin Brits ends the chase in style with a six that moves her from 49 to 55. At other end Wolvaardt has scored 60 not out from 47 balls. South Africa win by 10 wickets with 5.1 overs to spare, a comprehensive thrashing of Sri Lanka. I don't imagine many sides have both won and lost matches by 10 wickets in the same edition of a world cup.

@_hypocaust DLS target upgraded to 121, which seems fair enough to me - SL only lost two wickets in the 12 overs when they thought they had 50 to bat, two of SA's leading bowlers had already bowled five each, one more than they would be allowed in a regular T20, and of course SA know from the start that they have only 20 overs to bat.

South Africa's target will be 121, a fairly significant upward adjustment from Sri Lanka's 105, for the reasons indicated above.
#cricket #CWC25 #ODI #SriLankavSouthAfrica
The game in Colombo has been reduced to 20 overs per side. Sri Lanka, resuming after a long rain interruption on 46-2 from 12 overs boosted that to 105-7 from 20 scoring 59-5 in the last eight overs. That will be DLS adjusted, probably upwards, because Sri Lanka had lost only those two wickets in the first 12 overs, and two of South Africa's leading bowlers, Kapp and Klaas had bowled five overs each, one more than would be allowed in a T20 innings.

Three wickets fall in the last over, and Sri Lanka post 105/7 (20.0).

Vishmi Gunarathne 34 (33)
Nilakshi de Silva 18 (17)

Nonkululeko Mlaba 3-30
Masabata Klaas 2-18
