Sri Lanka vs Sri Lanka – 2003 World Cup:
In the ICC’s major events, South Africa had been on the receiving end. The Proteas were dubbed as ‘chokers’. On March 3, 2003, South Africa had suffered another major setback when they were playing on their home soil.
In the all-important clash, the Proteas had suffered heartbreak when rain-hit game witnessing Shaun Pollock paying a massive price before the game ended in a tie.
With overcast conditions in Durban, the Duckworth Lewis method suggested South Africa need to score 229 for a tie.
Also, the Proteas had an early celebration when wicketkeeper-batsman and Lance Klusenar were batting in the middle.
Pertinently, before denying a run, Boucher had hit a maximum on the bowling of Muttiah Muralitharan. The Proteas short-lived the celebration when the rain had poured down.
