NEW DELHI: The T20 World Cup's opening match between South Africa and Sri Lanka took place at the Nassau Stadium in New York, where the pitch conditions were far from ideal. Both team captains expressed their dissatisfaction with the surface.
Sri Lanka's batting performance was abysmal, as they were bowled out for a meager 77 runs, their lowest total in T20 cricket history. South Africa, despite the low target, had to work hard for their victory, eventually reaching the target with six wickets in hand and 3.4 overs to spare.
