On the other hand South Africa, were poor with the new ball conceding 87 runs in the first 10 overs. Tahir who picked four wickets and some brilliance in the field from the skipper AB de Villiers changed the game for the Proteas. They kept chipping away with important wickets which stopped the run flow of the Sri Lankans and 300 proved to be too much for them in the end.

So, Sri Lanka after being 90 for 1 in 11 overs have been bundled out for 203 runs. Sri Lanka were well on course to chase down the score when Niroshan Dickwella and Upul Tharanga were batting. Tharanga scored a hard fought fifty but did not get any support from the middle order. The Islanders suffered a mini collapse in between, losing 5 wickets for 60 runs.

41.3

Imran Tahir To Nuwan Pradeep OUT!

OUT! That should do it! South Africa have a win in their tournament opener and it's come via a dominant performance. Tossed up on the stumps, Nuwan Pradeep lofts this in an attempt to clear the wide long on boundary. Didn't middle it at all as it's straight down the throat of JP Duminy, who takes a simple catch. Tahir gets his fourth of the game and SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 96 RUNS!

41.2

Imran Tahir To Nuwan Pradeep

A bit of extra bounce for Imran Tahir. He pitches this on a shorter length and it turns back in, the wrong 'un, takes Pradeep by surprise and raps him on the gloves.

41.1

Imran Tahir To Nuwan Pradeep

Flat, short and outside off, Nuwan off his back foot pushes it to the covers.

Imran Tahir into the attack again.

40.6

Kagiso Rabada To Kusal Perera

FOUR! Overpitched, in an attempt to score the yorker and it's been put away. Kusal Perera backs away and drills it past mid off to end the over with a boundary.

40.5

Kagiso Rabada To Kusal Perera

Rabada comes steaming in and pounds it in short, Perera makes room to get some bat on it but fails to do so.

40.4

Kagiso Rabada To Nuwan Pradeep

Similar shot, it's aerially through the covers. Just a single this time though.

40.3

Kagiso Rabada To Nuwan Pradeep

FOUR! Don't think he really meant to hit it there but he'll take it all the same. Rabada hurls it full and outside off, Pradeep awkwardly just chips it over the covers. It races away to the fence, beating the chasing fielders.

40.2

Kagiso Rabada To Nuwan Pradeep

On a shortish length again, angling down, Pradeep makes room and without even looking at the ball, wildly swings, only to miss horribly.

40.1

Kagiso Rabada To Nuwan Pradeep

Short of a length delivery shaping back in, on middle and leg, Pradeep makes room and looks to dab it down to third man but misses.

Powerplay 3 has been signalled. A maximum of 5 fielders will be allowed outside the circle.

Chris Morris To Kusal Perera

Brilliant stuff. Morris fires it full and wide outside off, Perera who had backed away couldn't reach it. Good over from the all-rounder has come to an end.

39.5

Chris Morris To Kusal Perera

Just back of a length on the fourth stump line, the southpaw stands tall and punches it to the cover area.

39.4

Chris Morris To Kusal Perera

One more accurate yorker, on leg, dug back out down the track.

39.3

Chris Morris To Kusal Perera

Hurls this on a length, on the off stick, Kusal Perera slaps this through extra cover. Two runs are taken as the man out in the deep mops it up.

39.2

Chris Morris To Kusal Perera

Another yorker but this one is outside off, Perera makes a little room and squeezes it out to point.

Kusal Perera has a change of bats.

39.1

Chris Morris To Kusal Perera

Comes from around the wicket and fires in a yorker on leg, Kusal Perera charges out and jams it back in the direction of the bowler.

38.5

Kagiso Rabada To Nuwan Pradeep

Length delivery aiming the top of off stump, Pradeep meets it with a straight bat.

38.4

Kagiso Rabada To Nuwan Pradeep

Accurate bumper banged around off, Pradeep sways inside the line and lets it sail over him.

38.3

Kagiso Rabada To Nuwan Pradeep

Short of a good length just around off, Pradeep keeps it out from within his crease.

38.2

Kagiso Rabada To Nuwan Pradeep

Ooohhhh....... That's *just* missed! Rabada drops this on a length on middle and it jags back in heavily. Goes past the inside edge and just over the stumps before thudding into Quinton de Kock's gloves.

Nuwan Pradeep is the last man in for Sri Lanka.

38.1

Kagiso Rabada To Lasith Malinga OUT!

OUT! He's dragged it back on! Rabada gets his first of the match. Bowls it on a back of a length around off, Malinga makes room to slap it over the off side but ends up getting a big inside edge. It goes on to hit the stumps and that's another wicket down. South Africa are just one step away from victory.

Lasith Malinga to be the new man in.

37.5

Chris Morris To Suranga Lakmal OUT!

OUT! There goes another and its that man Tahir who gets a direct hit from mid on at the strikers end. You can't keep him out of the action. Back of a length ball, Lakmal slaps it to mid on and sets of for a run, Perera does not respond and sends him back. Tahir picks up tha ball and hits the stumps at the strikers end. The umpire goes upstaris to check weather he is out and he is short off the crease. The third umpire give it out.
