46.1
Kasun Rajitha c Keshav Maharaj b Anrich Nortje 0 (27)
OUT! Caught. Anrich Nortje to Kasun Rajitha. Short, down leg side on the back foot pushing, mis-timed to backward point, by Maharaj. Soft dismissal! Rajitha chips it to the hands of Maharaj who takes a simple catch. That comes to an end as South Africa win by an innings and 45 runs. Overall a good performance from South Africa in this match. Sri Lanka has scored 180 in the second innings. For Sri Lanka, Kusal Perera top-scored with 64 and Wanindu Hasaranga played a fine cameo in the end with 59. For South Africa Ngidi, Nortje, Mulder and Sipamla picked up a couple of wickets each. Faf du Plessis adjudged as player of the match for his excellent performance with the bat. Let join us for the second Test on January 3 from The Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg. Until then, cheers.
