He scratched around for runs in the group matches, finally making 78* against Sri Lanka in the quarterfinals. South Africa persisted with him as the opener, despite benching Rilee Rossouw who was in good form before the World Cup. 6. Matthew Cross (Sco) Mt: 6 Ct: 9 St: 1 Tot: 10 Scotland’s wicket keeper Matthew Cross took 9 catches and 1 stumping in the World Cup to dismiss 10 batsmen.(© Getty Images) Scotland’s wicket keeper Matthew Cross took 9 catches and 1 stumping in the World Cup to dismiss 10 batsmen.
