Botswana scrape through over Sri Lanka

Botswana also had a 15-run penalty awarded in the dying minutes for Sri Lanka's slow over-rate to thank for their victory. Needing only 10 runs to win at the end of the 28th over with only 2 wickets in hand, Botswana hung on to a defensive approach as Tshepo Mohzya and Kala Rakwadi fended the sheer pace of Namal Bandara.

The umpires, Jonathan Tosefsky and Ravi Angara rightly awarded the penalty to see Botswana home, a match which they should have won with ease. In this World Cup, Botswana has not faired so well and all the captain's men, importantly his batsmen, cannot put the pieces together again.
