Despite a fighting 100-run stand between Symcox (wearing shirt number 77) and Jonty Rhodes, the Proteas couldn’t recover. Meanwhile, captain Arjuna Ranatunga — battling a knee injury — guided the tail and made headlines for something offbeat: his bat sported an ad for “Sam’s Chicken and Ribs,” which the ICC later forced him to tone down. 🍗🏏 🔥 Key Moments: ⚡ Sri Lanka smash 79 in first 10 overs 😬 Elworthy’s unforgettable over: 11 extras, all four types! 🎯 Wickremasinghe destroys South Africa’s top order 🧢 Symcox shines at No. 5 with 77 on his shirt — literally! 🐓 Ranatunga’s “Sam’s Chicken and Ribs” bat causes ICC stir 👏 Jonty Rhodes fights back with 54 off 49 balls A vibrant game witnessed by a relaxed, neutral crowd, this one had it all — big hits, bizarre moments, and a vintage Ranatunga twist. 💬 Comment Below: What’s the most unusual sponsor you’ve seen on a bat?
