Defending champions Sri Lanka exited the World T20 with defeat in their final appearance. Instead, it was South Africa who left with a consolation win in a contest that lacked intensity as they eased past their opponents, first by restricting Sri Lanka to a small score, and then by clinically chasing it down.
For the first time in this World T20, South Africa's attack had enough slow-bowling options - the two specialist spinners Aaron Phangiso and Imran Tahir, as well as the part-timer Farhaan Behardien - to strangle Sri Lanka's spin-proficient line-up, minus the injured captain Angelo Mathews. South Africa's bowlers left their batsmen a target of 121 and, with the ever-calm Hashim Amla as anchor, they had few problems reaching it.
