Legends and Pundits debate on Twitter as Sri Lanka get knocked down by South Africa yesterday at Chester-Le-Street as they failed to put enough runs on the board after batting first that was very easily chased down by South African batsmen earning the Proteas their first victory in the World Cup.
Very poor batting from Sri Lanka!!
I am sure everyone must be disappointed with the result but have to keep faith and believe we could win the last two games.. it’s a World Cup and anything is possible.. come on boys 👊

Disappointing for Sri Lanka in 2019 World Cup!!
For all practical purposes Sri Lanka is out of semis race. Between England, Pakistan, Bangladesh for 1 spot now

Decent batting from Amla!!
So happy to see Hashim Amla get runs. One of the greats of our era. #MightyHash

South Africa should have started the campaign like this!!
This is the kind of performance one expected from the SA bowlers from the beginning. Pretorious too good from him today, 3 big wickets and can not get more economical. 👏#SLvsSA #CWC19

Sri Lanka lost both the game as well as hopes of knock-out stages!!
Very disappointing from Sri Lanka. Defending 232 was a high and then scoring 203 today is a real low. Inconsistency costs them big time. Now between England Bangladesh and Pak for the last spot. Who do you think will make it?
