Match summary
Rain almost ate this mouth watering clash but thankfull we squeezed in a 7 overs clash that South Africans claimed with healthy margin..
Invited in to bat first once rain allowed play to commence, South African top order faced no problem blasting renowed bowlers like Lasith Malinga and Rangana Herath, specially due to AB de Villier's amazing abilities with the bat. JP Duminy cracked a six and a four to finish innings on a high.
Sri Lankans were never in hunt once both overs returned inside first two overs. Visitor's bowling was way too tight for home team.
