Congratulations to TM Dilshan for winning the Man of the Match award!

In South Africa's last ODI series, Quinton de Kock scored 3 centuries on the trot. Can Hashim Amla do it this time? Wait until Hambantota.

Steyn to Dilshan, no run, Steyn drops it, and he is getting some treatment from the physio,

Dilshan stabbed it back to the bowler through the line and it came to him in a flash :

struck him on the finger and he went down immediately  :-[



Duminy had to continue the Over and Saffies Lost :


Series level 1- 1

It would be fantastic if he could do it, but the rest of the batsmen need to come to the party too. And I'm  starting to wonder whether Jacques Kallis should still be part of the team.

Whoa good win by Lankans! Well played. Abysmal batting by SA save for Amla. Could've really won this IMO.

Good allround performance by Dilshan. So that makes the next match decider, I guess.

Oi Gina, long time no see!

And yeah wondering the same. I think it's probably preperation for worldcup where he can have a graceful retirement kinda thing. I think it's pretty lame tbh. Especially since he can't bowl.

BTW where's Faf? Injued?

What a match, exciting till Amla was in the middle. It would have been the greatest knock ever had he carried on.That one shot by AB turned the game head on.He ducked his head as soon as the ball dipped towards the long-on fielder, he didn't hit it the way he would have liked.
3rd ODI..Lets see who get the series...1-1.
