South Africa beats Sri Lanka by eight wickets as both teams bow out

Did you see Phasingo score two in two? Who would believe that his action was cleared just a few weeks ago?

South Africa won against Srilanka by 8 wickets on Monday night. Hashim Amla’s fifty ensured this consolation win for South Africa who has already been knocked out of the worldcup. The defending champions were all out for 120 in 19.3 overs. South Africa comfortably beat Srilanka with 8 wickets in hand and 14 balls to spare.

While both teams will return home now, the highlight of the match was Aaron Phangiso’s two wickets in two deliveries.

Phangiso is one of only two specialist spinners in the squad and with JP Duminy. There was a rush to get Phangiso's  action cleared before the World T20 and his action was only passed a couple of days before the squad left for India.

Take a look at how Phansingo demolished Dinesh Chandimal and Lahiru Thirimanne in two deliveries. Both bowled out!
