In Port Elizabeth, Sri Lanka’s performance went from bad to worse. Batting first, they managed to score just 189 and got all out in 39.2 overs. Avishka Fernando made 29 which was the highest score of the innings. Anrich Nortje took 3 wickets while Andile Phehlukwayo claimed 2. It was a collective bowling effort by the bowlers that stopped Sri Lanka to a paltry score.
