SA beat SL by 4 wickets | Sri Lanka vs South Africa, Highlights And Cricket Score 2nd ODI Match - Commentary

Lungi Ngidi and Andile Phehlukwayo were the pick of the bowlers, taking 3 apiece. Tabraiz Shamsi didn't provide a breakthrough but he was frugal. Having said all that, it won't be a walk in the park for the Proteas. In the last game, they initially stuttered against the spin test but overcame it later on. Though it is a below par total, Sri Lanka have some wily spinners in the ranks capable of defending it. It promises to be an exciting chase. Join us shortly after the break.

The wicket-keeper batsman missed out on his ton though but the Lankan skipper continued to hold one end up. He scored an important fifty but kept losing partners at the other end. As a result, he couldn't tee off and kept on rotating the strike. Credit to the South African bowlers too as they bowled consistent lines and lengths to keep the pressure on the opposition. They only conceded 51 in the last 10 overs, taking the fizz out of the hosts' innings and denying them any kind of momentum.

A disciplined bowling performance from South Africa has allowed them to restrict Sri Lanka under 250. They once again threatened to trigger a collapse in Powerplay 1 but couldn't as this time Niroshan Dickwella put his hand up. He along with Kusal Perera and Angelo Mathews, stitched useful partnerships, giving some sort of a foundation to his side.
