SOUTH AFRICA beat Sri Lanka by six wickets in the teams' opening Group D match of the T20 World Cup in New York on Monday.
Proteas fast bowler Anrich Nortje took a remarkable four wickets for just seven runs as Sri Lanka were bowled out for just 77 -- their lowest T20 total.
But South Africa lost early wickets as they too struggled to time the ball before the big-hitting Heinrich Klaasen (19 not out) saw them to victory with 22 balls to spare.

Former Olympic wrestler and MMA star Ben Askren is recovering after undergoing a double lung transplant in Wisconsin, following a life-threatening case of pneumonia that left him hospitalized for over a month. Askren shared an emotional update from his hospital bed, revealing he has no memory of the period from late May through early July. 
"No recollection, zero idea, no idea what happened," he said, explaining he only learned the details by reading his wife Amy’s journal. During this ordeal, Askren’s heart stopped four times, each for about 20 seconds, and he lost around 50 pounds over 45 days.
