Sri Lanka take on South Africa in the fourth game of the five-match One-Day International series at the Pallekele International Stadium in Pallekele on Sunday.
South Africa beat Sri Lanka by 56 runs in the third ODI, courtesy of four for 22 by left-arm pacer Lonwabo Tsotsobe. Earlier David Miller’s 85 off 72 balls helped South Africa post a fighting total. This win ends South Africa’s 11-match losing streak against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka despite all-rounder Thisara Perera’s heroics.
The highlight of the innings was the 33rd over of the game where Sri Lankan all-rounder Thisara Perera smashed 35 off left-arm spinner Robin Peterson’s over to catapult the home side’s run-chase.
