South Africa dealt a big blow to Sri Lanka's Cricket World Cup semifinal hopes with a dominant nine-wicket win in Chester-le-Street on Friday (June 28). After being asked to bat first, Sri Lanka lost wickets at regular intervals and were bowled out for 203 in 49.3 overs. Dwaine Pretorius and Chris Morris took three wickets each, while Kagiso Rabada took two. In reply, the Proteas rode on Faf du Plessis and Hashim Amla’s unbroken 175-run stand to seal the deal with 76 balls remaining. With just six points from seven games, Sri Lanka still have a mathematical chance to qualify for the semis. They need to win their last two games against West Indies (on July 1) and India (July 6), and then depend on favourable results from other remaining league stage games.
