SA beat SL by 71 runs (D/L method) | South Africa vs Sri Lanka, Highlights And Cricket Score 3rd ODI Match - Commentary

South Africa's innings was all about partnerships. In spite of losing wickets, they always had the upper hand due to that. Sri Lanka have a big task ahead now. Their batting has been below-par in this series so far and they have to bat out of their skin to overhaul this target. What will happen in the chase? Do join us in a short while to find out.

Sri Lanka's bowling was pretty much substandard. Apart from a quiet period when Faf du Plessis was dismissed, they never managed to gain the upper hand. The runs continued to flow and there was no pressure applied by the Lankan bowlers. Kamindu Mendis, the ambidextrous debutant, was the most economical bowler whereas Isuru Udana with a couple of wickets was the most successful one in terms of wickets taken.

It all started with Sri Lanka putting South Africa to bat after winning the toss. Reeza Hendricks was dismissed cheaply but once again the touring team encountered the pair of de Kock and du Plessis in sublime form. The duo raised a 97-run stand in quick time and punished the Lankan bowlers to all parts of the park. The South African skipper lost his wicket soon after the first Drinks interval but in came yet another handy partnership for the Proteas. Quinton de Kock broke his deadlock by stroking a fluent century after 17 innings while Rassie van der Dussen continued with his amazing form to notch up one more score of a fifty.

Outstanding cameo from Andile Phehlukwayo towards the end as South Africa amassed 53 runs in the last four to take their total past the 325-run mark. We witnessed some power hitting in the death overs and Sri Lanka looked clueless against the onslaught. This is now South Africa's highest score batting first in Durban in ODIs.

Kasun Rajitha from inside the ring and Akila Dananjaya from outside go for it, no one called and the ball dropped right in between them. A couple is taken and Malinga ain't impressed.
