SA cruise to semis with 119-run win over SL Norton (41 and 4-28), Pretorius (71) and Maphaka (6 for 21) were the stars of the show as SA thrashed SL by 119 runs at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom to qualify for the semis from Group 2. SA scored 232/8 after batting first, and then skittled out SL for 113 in just 23.2 overs. SA got off to a good start with Pretorius and Stolk adding 63 for the first wicket. But SL fought back with regular wickets and had SA in trouble at 133/6. But Norton came to the rescue with a vital 41, and got some support from the lower middle order. SL never looked like chasing the target as they lost wickets in a heap, being 51/5 at one point. Shanmuganathan and Tharupathi showed some fight with 20s, but SL were eventually bowled out in a hurry.
