    5.5 fuller length on middle and off and Jayawardene makes room before going for another inside-out shot over extra-cover. Ends up mistiming it as it spoons harmlessly to de Villiers at extra-cover. One of the more entertaining 33's you will ever see 67/1
    7.1 short and wide from Wiese. Perera slashes this over cover but ends up holing out to sweeper cover. Another tame dismissal from Kusal 71/2
    12.3 Chandimal fails to make SA pay dearly for that let-off the last over, Tahir tosses it up and slows it down, he comes down the pitch to smash it out of here, beaten in flight 100/3

    15.3 length ball on middle and Mathews, looking to work this to the leg side, but the ball ends up hitting the bottom-edge of the bat and drags on to the stumps. Quite an innocuous way to get out 123/4

Match Notes

  • Dilshan keeps faith in young batsmen

    Sri Lanka's misfiring middle order has been the cause of most concern in the 2-1 Twenty20 series loss to South Africa, but Tuesday's Man of the match Tillakaratne Dilshan has said the youngsters' failures do not necessarily bode ill for the team's future

  • Dilshan powers Sri Lanka to consolation win

    Sri Lanka's batsmen found fluency for the first time in the Twenty20 series, as the hosts rode a furious start and a fast finish to a conciliatory six-wicket win in Hambantota
