| Kusal Perera | 30 | 25 | 2 | 1 | 120 |
|
10.5 OUT! LBW! Markram strikes again and half the Sri Lankan side is back in the shed now. The review does not work out for Perera and he walks off, even before the Ball Tracker can come on, as after the replays show that there was no bat, he knows that this would be plumb. Fuller, loopy, around off, Perera gets low and looks to sweep but misses and gets hit on the thigh pad. An appeal and the finger goes up. Perera probably knows this is out but he opts for the review. Ball Tracker confirms his fears as it shows three reds. He was looking good out in the middle but he is not able to continue. 78/5

| Dinesh Chandimal Wk | 5 | 8 | 0 | 0 | 62.50 |

2 OUT! CAUGHT! Number one down and Nortje strikes in his first over! An easy take for the fielder and the Saffas have drawn first blood. Anrich serves a slower bouncer, around off, Chandimal lines up to play the pull shot, but only manages to flat-bat it towards the mid on fielder. Keshav Maharaj, the skipper, gulps this one down easily, by moving to his right. Nortje is pumped and this is a great start by the Proteas! 10/1

| Bhanuka Rajapaksa | 20 | 13 | 3 | 1 | 153.84 |
|
5 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Markram gets a wicket and Sri Lanka lose their second one. Bhanuka Rajapaksa was looking very good but he will be livid with himself as he gets himself out on a full toss. This should have been dispatched but he will have to walk back to the shed. A full toss, around off and middle, Bhanuka Rajapaksa skips down and only manages to hit this back towards Markram, who gets low, to his left, and pouches this. 38/2

| Dhananjaya de Silva | 4 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 66.66 |
|
7.4 OUT! STUMPED! It does not take long for Shamsi to get a wicket and the third one falls. That was very well bowled and Shamsi is loving it! Tabraiz serves this slightly shorter, outside off, as he sees Dhananjaya de Silva dancing down the track. The ball lands and spins in, as de Silva fails to connect bat with ball. Quinton de Kock collects and breaks the stumps off in a flash and that is the end of de Silva's innings. 59/3

| Dasun Shanaka C | 10 | 8 | 0 | 1 | 125 |
|
9.2 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! That is a brilliant comeback from Shamsi and that is a huge, huge wicket. Shamsi has the last laugh and he gives Shanaka a bit of a send-off. After getting hit for a big six, he removes Shanaka and South Africa are doing very well in this phase. Shamsi floats this one up, lands it around off, the ball lands and spins in as Dasun Shanaka comes down the track and looks to work this across the line, but he misses. The ball goes onto crash into the furniture behind. Sri Lanka in a spot of bother now! 71/4

| Charith Asalanka | 14 | 20 | 0 | 0 | 70 |
|
17.1 OUT! Caught and bowled! Wicket number 9 goes down and it's the big one of Charith Asalanka. Markram picks his third. Slower through the air, full and around off, Asalanka shapes up for a cover drive but it probably holds up from the surface. He is early into his shot and ends up chipping a simple return catch to the bowler. 103/9

| Wanindu Hasaranga | 4 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 57.14 |
|
12.5 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! The spinners of the Saffas are running through the batting lineup of the hosts and the sixth one falls! Bjorn Fortuin serves this quicker, flatter too, around off, it zips through after hitting the deck. Wanindu Hasaranga goes back and looks to slash this one away but misses and the ball goes onto hit the off pole. Fortuin gets his first and the Lankans are slipping further. 86/6

| Chamika Karunaratne | 8 | 12 | 0 | 0 | 66.66 |
|
15.3 OUT! That's an absolute beauty. Shamsi gets his third. Floated one, full and landing outside off, Chamika Karunaratne presses forward to drive it through the line but it curls back in sharply to take a bit of an inside edge and rattles the stumps behind. The third umpire checks for the no ball, both for the front foot and the back leg, but Tabraiz Shamsi is fine on both counts. 100/7

| Dushmantha Chameera | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 33.33 |
|
16.5 OUT! Chameera is a goner despite taking the DRS. A smart piece of bowling from Bjorn Fortuin. He comes up with a flatter arm ball around off and it skids on after landing. Chameera is caught on the back foot as he attempts to defend. Misses the ball and is struck on the pads. They appeal and the finger is up. Dushmantha Chameera takes the DRS but it's of no use. Chameera is plumb. Three reds on the Ball Tracker. Sri Lanka lose their 8th wicket and are in danger of getting bowled out within the 20 overs. 103/8

|
18.1 OUT! Trapped in front! The agony for the Sri Lankans is over. Maharaj delivers it flat and full on middle, going straight on after landing, Maheesh Theekshana tries to defend it with a straight bat but misses. The ball pings the pads, the appeal is made and the umpire agrees. Sri Lanka are bowled out for 103! 103/10

8.2 OUT! Here comes the first breakthrough! Hasaranga bowls a loopy full ball on middle, spinning away, Reeza Hendricks kneels down to swipe it over the leg side but gets a top edge. Never a good idea to do that against the spin. The ball flies towards backward square leg and Dinesh Chandimal runs across to his left to complete the catch safely. 42 needed off 70 balls. 62/1
