In their opening game of the 50-over World Cup in India, South Africa defeated Sri Lanka by a significant margin of 102 runs. South Africa’s batsmen excelled on a good batting wicket, posting a massive total of 428 for 5, breaking several records in the process. Notable records include the highest total in a World Cup match, the highest total against Sri Lanka in all ODIs, the highest ODI score at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, three centuries in the innings (a first in a World Cup match), and Aiden Markram scoring the fastest century in a World Cup match in just 49 balls. Despite some strong individual performances in Sri Lanka’s reply, they couldn’t match South Africa’s total, ultimately falling short in the chase.
