Thanks to his efforts, and those of tall seam bowler Julian Soutter who also took three wickets, Sri Lanka were bowled out for 121 inside 19 overs. The chase was little more than a formality, especially when Malan, who will feature in South Africa’s high-profile T20 Global League later in the year, took the innings by the collar. The winning run was a bye as Sri Lanka wicketkeeper Sarathchandra missed a stumping chance. Though the partisan Sri Lankan crowd was quietened by the result, South Africa’s players stormed the field at the moment of victory – wildly jubilant. North West University South Africa’s win re-establishes their dominance of the tournament.
