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.
