SL vs SA Live Cricket Score

3.1 OUT! TAKEN! First ball in World Cups and a wicket for Ottneil Baartman! Sri Lanka lose the first wicket and Pathum Nissanka's struggling stay comes to an end. Ottneil Baartman comes from over the wicket, hits the deck hard and gets it to shape away a shade from outside off, Pathum Nissanka throws the kitchen-sink at it but gets a thickish outside edge of the willow which flies straight into the hands of Heinrich Klaasen stationed at deep third. Baartman becomes first South African to get a wicket with his first ball in T20 World Cup. 13/1

10 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Brilliantly judged by Tristan Stubbs looking into the sun! End of a scratchy stay at the crease for Kusal Mendis. Nortje continues to vary his length throughout the over and this time, digs it in short, at the batter. Kusal Mendis hangs back in his crease and tries to take on the short ball. The ball hits him high on the bat and Mendis gets more height than the distance. Tristan Stubbs with shades and a hat on at deep square leg, runs a fair few steps to his left and keeps his eyes on the ball all the way through before completing a reverse cup catch. At the halfway mark, Sri Lanka are 40/5, the lowest score at the end of 10 overs for the Asian side in their T20I history. 40/5

7.5 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! The bowling change has worked as Anrich Nortje strikes in his first over. Norjte bowls it around the pads with a deep backward square leg in place and makes the batter hit towards the bigger square boundary. Kamindu Mendis tries to whip this length delivery but fails to get the distance. It goes only as far as deep backward square leg where Reeza Hendricks takes it safely near his chest. 31/2

8.2 OUT! STUMPED! Keshav Maharaj gets into the act now! Wanindu Hasaranga tries to put Maharaj under pressure but it does not quite come off for him. Maharaj gives the ball air nicely and drags the length back a touch, on middle and leg, Wanindu Hasaranga puts the dancing shoes on to go back over the bowler's head but the ball is not full enough. Gets done in the flight and Quinton de Kock does the rest behind the wicket. A duck for the Sri Lankan skipper. 32/3

8.3 OUT! CASTLED! Keshav Maharaj with the double whammy and South Africa are bossing this game here. Maharaj gets the ball to come in with the arm and keeps the line around the off-stump, on a nagging length, Sadeera Samarawickrama gets on the back foot and stays leg side of the ball. He opts to play this square on the off side with the turn. There is no turn on offer and it goes straight on to sneak under the angled bat and crashes into the off pole. A golden duck for Sadeera Samarawickrama and Sri Lanka are in dire straits. 32/4

11.2 OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Charith Asalanka could not have picked the fielder out any better there. Full length, angling into the pads, Charith Asalanka flicks it off the pads using all the pace of the ball, in the air and finds the fielder at deep square leg where Reeza Hendricks comes forward and takes a simple catch. Sri Lanka lose their 6th wicket now. 45/6

15.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Anrich Nortje gets the big wicket and he is having a great day at the office here. A body blow to Sri Lanka with the departure of Angelo Mathews and goes with him, the hopes of them getting close to 100. Nortje delivers a sharp and quick bumper, at the batter, Angelo Mathews gets tucked up for room as he shapes up for the pull shot. Gets a top edge that flies straight down the throat of Ottneil Baartman at fine leg who makes no mistake. 70/8

14.4 OUT! YOU MISS I HIT! CASTLED! Kagiso Rabada now bullets a length ball, and attacks the stumps, Dasun Shanaka exposes all the stumps moving way across the leg side, creating room for a lofted shot into the stands but misses out on the connection totally and the ball whispers the willow's edge before disrupting the furniture. 68/7

17.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Soft dismissal and Kagiso Rabada has his second wicket of the day! Rabada comes up with a well-disguised slower delivery, fuller and on the middle and leg, Matheesha Pathirana fails to pick the change of pace and looks to turn it away on the leg side. Goes through his shot early and gets a top edge that goes straight up towards mid on where Aiden Markram settles under it and takes it close to his chest. 71/9

19.1 OUT! RUN OUT! A suicidal second run and Sri Lanka have been bowled out for just 77, their lowest score in T20I cricket. Marco Jansen steams in from over the wicket and hurls it on the back of a length, over middle, Maheesh Theekshana backs away and slaps it back over the bowler's head. It is not hit off the middle of the bat and it goes only as far as the ring down the ground. Maheesh Theekshana wants to stay on strike and calls Nuwan Thushara for the second run. Thushara is in no position to complete the second run and Anrich Nortje gives it a chase and fires a throw in on the bounce at the bowling end. Marco Jansen is quick to walk up to the stumps and does the rest, catching Thushara way short of his crease. 77/10

10.5 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Quinton de Kock is crossed with himself with the manner of his dismissal. Wanindu Hasaranga stays around the wicket and pulls the length back slightly, on middle, Quinton de Kock strides ahead and looks to push it back past the bowler. The ball stops in the surface a bit and de Kock ends up chipping it straight back towards the bowler. Wanindu Hasaranga takes it to his left safely. 51/3

1.3 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Proper Test match line by Nuwan Thushara and he gets the reward!  Drags his length back and serves it on a good length, in the channel on off. Reeza Hendricks stays rooted in his crease and plays a nothing shot as he tentatively pushes at the delivery away from his body. Gets an outside edge that flies straight to Kamindu Mendis at first slip who takes a sharp catch to his left. 10/1

4.2 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Dasun Shanaka strikes now and Sri Lanka aren't going to go down without a fight! Gets the ball to angle back into the right-hander, on a short of a good length, on middle and leg, Aiden Markram shapes up to work it off his pads. The ball pitches and nips away. Squares Markram up completely and the ball catches the leading edge of the bat. It goes to the first slip where Kamindu Mendis dives low to his right and takes it. 23/2

12.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Sharp catch by Charith Asalanka and Wanindu Hasaranga strikes in successive overs. Loops it up nicely and offers a bit of width on off. Tristan Stubbs gets his weight on the front foot and tries to cash in on the width. Creams the drive off the front foot but hits it flat and straight to cover where Charith Asalanka reacts quickly and makes a tough catch look easy, diving low to his left. A few inches to the left or right would have been a boundary for Stubbs. 58/4
