South Africa win by 19 runs in what was an entertaining 10-over affair after a lengthy rain delay. In the end, David Miller's 40 off 18 balls gave South Africa a cushion but Niroshan Dickwella provided a superb start to the chase and when Sri Lanka needed 40 off the last three overs they had a chance. However, debutant Lungisani Ngidi took two wickets in his second over and went for just four runs to leave it out of reach. Thanks for staying with us through the rain. We'll be back on Sunday for the second match from the Wanderers but, for now, from Gnasher and Alan it's goodnight and enjoy your weekend.
