`Graeme Smith for his innings and the win gets the Man of the Match award A remarkable win for South Africa who will take strength from the way they came back when Sri Lanka were going so well at the start. They tried hard to get the bonus point, but when wickets fell, he sent Prince in to settled things down and work to the win, which now puts them 3 points ahead of Sri Lnaka and a game in hand
