NEW DELHI: South African pacer Anrich Nortje rediscovered his rhythm and claimed a career-best 4/7 as the Proteas capitalised on the bouncy conditions to skittle out Sri Lanka for a paltry 77 in their T20 World Cup encounter in New York on Sunday.
The venue, which will host three of India's four Group A league matches, witnessed Sri Lanka's decision to bat first backfire spectacularly as they recorded their lowest total in T20 cricket. Nuwan Thushara's run-out brought their innings to a close in 19.1 overs.
