South Africa have posted a massive score in Johannesburg to take control of this Third T20I against Sri Lanka. Reeza Hendricks continued his sensational form with a stylish 66 and Dwaine Pretorius took his chance at number three with an unbeaten 77. JP Duminy added the finishing touches with a brutal 34 from just 14 deliveries as the Proteas launched a devastating assault at the death. Sri Lanka were sloppy in the field and poor with the ball, summing up their white ball efforts on this tour so far.

South Africa have completed a comfortable victory over Sri Lanka, despite intervention by the rain, to secure a 3-0 series whitewash in the T20Is. That comes on the back of a 5-0 ODI series, so the tourists will leave these shores disappointed with their performance in white ball cricket. Nonetheless, their victory in the Test series will live long in the memory and will have brought plenty of joy to the Sri Lankan fans. The Proteas were thoroughly professional this afternoon, with Reeza Hendricks (66) and Dwaine Pretorius (77*) combining in brutal fashion with the bat and Andile Phehlukwayo (4/24) displaying impressive variations with the ball. Once again Isuru Udana offered swashbuckling resistance, but the task was always too big for him. One major difference between the two sides was the fielding, with the visitors making several costly sloppy mistakes. That brings this tour to an end, thanks for joining us.

An expertly judged leap allows him to clutch the ball with both hands above his head.
FREE HIT. SIX! Andile Phehlukwayo to Isuru Udana. Half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over deep extra cover for 6 runs. Udana makes full use of the free hit by clearing the longest boundary on the field, straight into the Sri Lankan dugout.
