Despite resting key players, Sri Lanka showed no weakness as Kumar Sangakkara played a classy unbeaten 74, guiding the chase with calm authority. He was brilliantly supported by stand-in captain Mahela Jayawardene, who finished unbeaten on 48, as the pair stitched together a match-winning 98-run partnership. South Africa, batting first, started strongly through Graeme Smith and Herschelle Gibbs, but a middle-order collapse shifted momentum. Shaun Pollock fought back with a solid unbeaten 52, but the Proteas could only reach 235. Sri Lanka’s chase had a brief setback when Sanath Jayasuriya was run out early, but Avishka Gunawardene and Saman Jayantha stabilized the innings before Sangakkara took control. From there, Sri Lanka never looked back, extending their dominant run to 15 wins in their last 16 matches. South Africa’s struggles continued as they suffered another ODI defeat on a difficult tour. #savssl #cricket #highlights #sangakara #southafricavssrilanka #cricketmax #dambulla
