SL vs SA Live Cricket Score

45 OUT! LBW! No bat on that one and three reds on Ball Tracker. So, after a marathon knock, Malan departs! He has done his job though and should be very proud of his knock. Full ball, on off. Malan goes for the reverse paddle but misses and is hit on the pads. The umpire raises the finger right away. Malan reviews this but he knows that he is out and starts walking. There is no bat on that one and Ball Tracker shows three reds. He walks back to a well-deserved applause from his team. 263/5

8.5 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Chamika Karunaratne draws the first blood! That is the big wicket of Aiden Markram. On a length, around off. Markam looks to drive it on the up but gets the outside edge. Minod Bhanuka takes an easy catch behind the stumps. The extra bounce gets the better of Markram there. He had to rise on his toes to cover up for it but the ball takes the outside edge and goes to the keeper. 43/1

27.3 OUT! TIMBER! There is the wicket Sri Lanka needed! Reeza Hendricks walks back! This was expected. He just slowed down to get to his half ton, once he got there, tried to up the ante but falls in the process. Steps out. Dhananjaya de Silva spots it and shortens the length a little. Reeza Hendricks makes the mistake of going against the turn as he tries to go over cover. The ball holds its line just a little, enough to go past the bat and hit the stumps. Timely wicket. Can Lanka now build on this? 139/2

35.5 OUT! STUMPED! Wanindu Hasaranga gets the big wicket of Rassie van der Dussen. This is a huge moment in the game. Tossed up, outside off. Rassie van der Dussen misses the sweep and Minod Bhanuka takes the stumps off in a jiffy. The keeper is very confident and it is more of a celebration than an appeal. The TV umpire is called in. There is no bat on that and the replay shows that Rassie van der Dussen had dragged his back foot out of the crease. 177/3

44.5 OUT! TAKEN! Klaasen has to walk back but not before playing a gem! We did mention he needs to play a cameo for his side and he has done so. Lanka though will be slightly pleased as there are still another 13 balls to go and this could well make a difference of 10 runs to the final total. On middle, Klaasen looks to go downtown. It goes more off the bottom and Shanaka at long on, runs ahead and takes an easy catch. 263/4

46 OUT! TAKEN! This is a brilliant penultimate over from Chamika Karunaratne! Just the 6 from it and a wicket too now! Another short one, this one skids through. Phehlukwayo looks to pull, he is hurried onto the pull shot. It goes off the splice and lobs back to the bowler who takes it. Sri Lanka finishing strongly here. 269/6

4.3 OUT! TAKEN! Kagiso Rabada gets the big wicket of Avishka Fernando! The centurion from the last game is gone. Length ball, just outside off. Avishka Fernando pokes at it but the ball nips away just enough and takes the edge. Reeza Hendricks takes an easy catch at first slip. 18/1

5.1 OUT! There indeed is an edge and it is a good review from South Africa! Wiaan Mulder now and South Africa are all over the hosts! This is on a length, it lands on middle and then moves away. Bhanuka looks to defend, there is a noise as the ball passes the batter. The keeper takes it and it is a very confident appeal from the visitors. Nothing from the umpire. It is reviewed as Mulder and Heinrich Klaasen are quite sure. The review is a successful one as there is a spike as the ball goes past the bat! 19/3

5 OUT! TAKEN! Kagiso Rabada is on fire! Two wickets in that over and South Africa are on top. The short stuff works now. Short ball, on middle. Bhanuka Rajapaksa is taken by surprise and hangs his bat in front of his body. The ball takes the gloves and goes back to Heinrich Klaasen. He takes that with ease. 18/2

14.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The stand has been broken! This is a soft dismissal! Loopy ball, on leg. The ball turns down the leg side. Dhananjaya de Silva misses the flick. Heinrich Klaasen gathers the ball and goes up in celebration and so does Tabraiz Shamsi. But the appeal is turned down. Keshav Maharaj takes it. UltraEdge shows a spike as the ball passes the bat! 61/4

28.4 OUT! TAKEN! Shamsi has the last laugh and that should be the game for South Africa, if it was not obvious before this wicket! On middle, tossed up. Charith Asalanka plays the slog sweep. It is the longer part of the ground and he holes out to the man in the deep. Kyle Verreynne, the substitute fielder, takes it. A really good innings from Charith Asalanka comes to an end. He fought a lone battle. 147/7

26.1 OUT! TAKEN! It is a clean catch! Shanaka did not take the decision that well but he has to walk back! A short one, that was there to be hit. The ball though does not come off that well off the surface. It goes off the toe end towards deep square leg. The fielder there, George Linde, seems to have taken it with his dive to his left. The umpire takes it upstairs to check and replays show that it is a clean catch. Shanaka stands there for a minute, not sure if he is not happy with the decision or the shot but then walks back. 125/5

27.5 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! George Linde takes a big wicket on his debut! Tossed up, on off. Wanindu Hasaranga hits it straight and hard, back to the bowler. Linde takes it with ease. Sri Lanka slide further and now need 124 in 79 balls. 141/6

35.3 OUT! BOWLED! Keshav Maharaj gets his first wicket of the game! Sri Lanka's last hope is gone! Chamika Karunaratne batted really well and kept things interesting but has to walk back. Fuller ball, wide outside off. Chamika Karunaratne goes for the drive but gets the inside edge. The ball crashes back onto the stumps. Akila Dananjaya walks out to bat now. 192/8

36.1 OUT! BOWLED! Tabraiz Shamsi does the magic yet again! Tossed up, on off. Dushmantha Chameera comes down the track to slog it but misses. The ball goes through the gate and clips the top of the off pole. Praveen Jayawickrama is the last batter. 194/9

36.4 OUT! TAKEN! There comes the final wicket and Tabraiz Shamsi gets his fifth! Tossed up, on off Akila Dananjaya comes down the track and hits it down the ground. The ball does not have enough legs on it. Aiden Markram runs to his left from long off and slides to take it. That ends the game and South Africa win by 67 runs (D/L method)! 197/10
