Following a 102-run defeat against South Africa, Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka their bowlers missed the line and lengths and did not execute plans well in the first game. South Africa kicked off their World Cup campaign with style as their opposition Sri Lanka succumbed at 326, way before the required target of 429 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday. “I expected high scoring game today with the kind of batting line-up South Africa have. We missed our lengths and the execution wasn’t there. We should have kept them to somewhere around 370 and that would have been a bit manageable,” Shanaka said during the presentation ceremony.
