Cricket: the West Indies have scraped through a win against Papua New Guinea their first T20 World Cup match.
South Africa ’s Anrich Nortje took a remarkable four wickets for just seven runs as the Proteas dismissed Sri Lanka for a record low 77 on their way to a six-wicket win in the teams’ T20 World Cup opener in New York on Monday.
Kagiso Rabada and left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj, who took two wickets in two balls on his way to 2-22, also damaged the cause of 2014 champions Sri Lanka. The production of the drop-in pitch was overseen by Adelaide Oval curator Damian Hough, but it attracted plenty of criticism for its inability to offer much for the batters.
South Africa captain Aiden Markram, whose side have two more games at the ground, said: “Credit for what we did in the field but the batting was a bit up and down.
