Athapaththu's fifty helps Sri Lanka stun South Africa in Women's T20 World Cup opener

The Momentum Proteas suffered a horrid batting collapse as Sri Lanka upset the hosts with a three-run victory in their ICC Women’s T20 World Cup encounter at Newlands on Friday.

Chasing a modest 130 to win under lights, South Africa lost wickets at regular intervals and was ultimately undone by the Sri Lankan bowling attack.
