SA win by 102 runs against SL to open their World Cup campaign
Story of the match
Sri Lanka showed some fight but in the end World Cup's highest-ever total proved to be too much for the 2011 finalists. Kusal Mendis displayed some breathtaking strokeplay before departing for 42-ball 76. Fifties from Shanaka and Asalanka could only narrow the victory margin. For South Africa, except skipper Bavuma every batter scored runs and all bowlers got wickets.
