Kusal Perera is named the Man of the Match for his crucial 50 at the top of the order. The next game, England vs New Zealand will start in a short while.
The chase was kicked off well by the pair of Quinton de Kock and Hashim Amla. But once AB de Villiers fell, things were starting to look a little bit glum. Morkel blasted Mendis for a couple of sixes and kept South Africa's hopes alive momentarily. But then eventually, Lasith Malinga bowled a superb last over and took Sri Lanka home.
Excellent performance from Sri Lanka and South Africa did try their level best in the end. Sri Lanka were led in front by Kusal Perera and then Angelo Mathews came on to the scene with a more than handy knock. Imran Tahir was the pick of the bowlers and Sri Lanka just about clawed their way to a par score of 160.

Lasith Malinga To Imran Tahir

Lasith Malinga To David Miller OUT!
OUT! Miller is miles out! A very full ball outside off, Miller has to look for two as he digs it through mid off. Chandimal ran quickly and fires a tough throw for Sangakkara. But the master takes the ball extremely well and knocks the stumps down. No need for the third umpire.

Lasith Malinga To David Miller OUT!
OUT! Run out now! A yorker, right up there on middle, dug out towards mid-wicket. There is no run there and Steyn still charges out. He didn't even bother about coming back quickly. Malinga tries to whip the bails off but the ball came off his hands but luckily for him, it knocks onto the stumps. Third umpire takes his time and then shows the red signal.
Slinga Malinga vs Miller Maniac. 15 needed off the last over. Odds would favour Malinga go about his death-overs bowling job but Miller cannot be written off. Can South Africa hold their nerves?
