ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 - South Africa v Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka lost its opening match to South Africa as it was not able to reach the big target of scoring 429 runs, which is the highest score set by any team in the history of the ICC World Cup that was held on Saturday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi.

South Africa defeated Sri Lanka by 102 runs at the Cricket World Cup on Saturday.

South Africa created history with the help of its three players Aiden Markram, Rassie van der Dussen and Quinton de Kock who scored centuries.

Aiden Markram (106) made history by smashing the fastest World Cup century, reaching the milestone in just 49 balls.

Rassie van der Dussen (108) and Quinton de Kock (100) also hit centuries in the first World Cup match to feature three tons in the same innings.

In reply, Sri Lanka battled bravely before being dismissed for 326 with Charith Asalanka (79), Kusal Mendis (76) and skipper Dasun Shanaka (68) rescuing a little pride for the 1996 champions.
