A great win for Sri Lanka puts them right back into this series
with two games to go
A good innings from Atapattu that set the win up but it was the
little master de Silva who played a little gem
This seven wicket win for the visitors will do a lot foe their
confidence
Kallis today not the bowler that he is known to be, bowling both
side of the wicket and far too short
Klusener also did not impress with his 7 overs, but he and the
South Africans will be more than happy with his form with the bat
Man of the match should go to Atapattu, but might be challenged by
the innings of de Silva, who I for one will rember for a long time
We will once again be with you on Wednesday for the 4th match of
the series from Kimberley
South Africa have brought McKenzie and Robin Peterson back into the
squad, with Justin Ontong sitting the last out
