South Africa and Sri Lanka battled each other in a Quarter-Final game of the Cricket World Cup, at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney, Australia.
The match started at 05:30 SA Time (14:30 Sydney Time).
As expected, the traditionally BIG Cricket Nations, bar England, made the Quarter-Finals.
It was South Africa vs Sri Lanka in the 1st Quarter-Final, and will be Bangladesh vs India in the 2nd Quarter-Final, Australia vs Pakistan in the 3rd Quarter-Final and New Zealand vs West Indies in the 4th Quarter-Final.
Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first.
South Africa Bowled and fielded with dicipline, aggression and passion, to dismiss Sri Lanka for a paltry 133, after only 37.2 Overs.
South Africa started their batting innings on a solid footing, only losing the first and only wicket, that of Hashim Amla, with the score already on 40 runs.
The Dinner Break was taken at the fall of the Amla wicket… so it was all to play for, for South Africa after Dinner!
South Africa cruised to victory in 18 Overs, with Quinton de Kock not out on 78 off 57 balls and Faf du Plessis not out on 21 off 31 balls.
South Africa becomes the 1st side to advance to the Semi-Finals.
Sri Lanka: 133 All Out (37.2 Overs)
South Africa: 134 / 1 (18 Overs)
South Africa won by 9 wickets (with 192 balls remaining)

119 @ MacroBull:
My vrou luister nie vir my nie, sy is omtrent net so hardekop soos ek.
Klein botteljie, groot gif!
Sy vattie kak van kabouters nie!
Damn, gelukkig is ek darem nie ‘n kabouter nie…
@ Nama:
I agree, Sangakkara will go down without the praise he deserves in test cricket and even ODI cricket of late, well and truelly bowing out at the top of his game.
Sri Lanka will find it tough without Sanga and Mahela, also Dilshan wont last much longer either.
A crushing win by SA….shows that class is permanent… just hoping that Nz get to have a go against a them in the semis…
whoa, gbs. soos gewoonlik, is kommunikasie die probleem.
My opinie is die ’80 sticker. het een op my tas gehad in st 1. Niks meer.
Jy is ook duidelik ‘n computer masjien. Respect.
