South Africa Vs Sri Lanka Live Cricket Score - Live Score, 1st T20I Match - Full Scorecard

D Steyn to N Dickwella, OUT! GONE! The Steyn Gun wastes no time in firing away! This isn't a great ball as such, thrown well outside off and fuller in length, Dickwella loosely goes after it and nicks it behind. David Miller behind the sticks today takes a simple catch. He'll be happy his first one is an easy one. Perfect start for the Saffas, an early breakthrough for them.

L Sipamla to A Fernando, OUT! In the air... and that has been taken excellently by Reeza Hendricks. The third one down in the Powerplay and not many teams win after losing three in the first six. A budding partnership comes to an end. Fernando goes for another hoick. This time though it is the slower one so he does not get it right off the middle. Goes uppishly towards deep square leg. Reeza there does very well to position himself just ahead of the ropes. He takes it but then realizes the momentum is taking him over the line. He tosses it up, goes out, comes in and then takes it. The umpires then go upstairs to check if the front foot is fine and yes, it is. The bowling change does the trick for the hosts as Sipamla strikes in his first over.

K Rabada to K Mendis, OUT! Two wickets in as many overs for South Africa. Catching practice for Sipamla at mid on. Full and attacking the stumps, Mendis looks to clear the fielder but doesn't get under the ball at all. Hands a straightforward catch to Sipamla, who takes it by crouching low. Sri Lanka in a spot of bother already, need to get a partnership going. The hosts are carrying on from where they left off in the ODIs.

I Tahir to K Mendis, OUT! STUMPED! Beautiful, just beautiful this from Tahir. The batsman was beaten in flight and the turn. Kamindu just had no clue there. This is given a lot of air and it dips around off. Mendis steps out but does not get to the pitch of it. The ball lands and then turns away. Mendis looks to adjust and then hit it with the turn but misses. Miller makes no mistake behind the stumps. Half the side back in the hut and Kamindu who was well set is walking back.

A Phehlukwayo to A Perera, OUT! Bowled 'em! Andile Phehlukwayo gets his first of the innings. A you-miss-I-hit kind of a situation. Very simple stuff from him. Keeps it on the fuller side and right in line of the stumps, Angelo Perera makes the mistakes of going across the line. Swings his bat, has to connect which he doesn't, and ends up paying the price. Sri Lanka lose another wicket.

A Phehlukwayo to T Perera, OUT! CAUGHT! Sri Lanka have lost their sixth wicket. Perera, their big hitter, has to walk back. Slower ball outside off, Perera goes for a big heave over mid-wicket but does not get it off the middle of the bat. It goes high in the air where du Plessis at long on comes in and takes it easily.

A Phehlukwayo to de Silva, OUT! BOWLED! Isuru Udana, who made a name for himself in the last 2 ODIs, fails to impress this time. A straight and full delivery on middle, Udana looks to paddle scoop towards the fine leg region but misses. Andile hits the jackpot. The ball crashes into the middle stump and the bails go flying off.

A Dananjaya to de Kock, OUT! In the air... taken! Sri Lanka strike immediately after the Powerplay. Both the openers back in the hut now. De Kock's struggle comes to an end. He looked too fidgety out there, goes for another reverse sweep. This time the ball hits his glove and lobs up in the air. Dickwella makes no mistake and takes it. Sri Lanka are not out of this. South Africa need 102 in 83 with 8 wickets in hand.

de Silva to de Kock, OUT! Reeza is short! Sri Lanka have got the early breakthrough. It is in the form of a run out, the last thing South Africa would have wanted. De Kock goes for the sweep but gets a top edge. It balloons over the fielder at square leg. The batsmen take two and then go for a risky third. Akila Dananjaya picks the ball up and fires it to the keeper. Dickwella takes it and whips the bails off. An appeal follows and the umpire takes it upstairs. Replays roll in and they show that Reeza has to take the long walk back. The Lankans are pumped up, they need wickets if they are to defend this target. They have got one.

J Vandersay to du Plessis, OUT! There goes the skipper. Timely wicket, this, for Sri Lanka. Lovely bowling by Vandersay. He gives it air and gets it to dip on the batsman. Faf looks to get to the pitch of it and hit it with the turn but does not get close enough. He still goes ahead with the shot but due to the turn away, it goes off the outer half to the man at backward point. Dhananjaya there accepts it.

L Malinga to van der Dussen, OUT! Malinga strikes! His 95th wicket in T20I cricket. Rassie van der Dussen departs. Could Sri Lanka still be in with a chance? Just behind a length around off, van der Dussen shimmies down and tries to go across the line. Gets a top edge and it lobs down to third man. Udana there runs inside, dives forward and takes a safe catch.

L Malinga to D Miller, OUT! This is a massive wicket. The in-form David Miller is out of here. This is a risky run. He works this through square leg and takes off. Quickly calls for the second and rushes back. The throw comes in from the deep and Mendis is accurate as he finds the keeper to perfection. Dickwella takes the bails off as Miller dives in. It's taken upstairs and replays show Miller is short.

I Udana to JP Duminy, OUT! DUMINY IS RUN OUT! Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka... have you done it? Oh, boy! This doesn't look good at all for the home side. Duminy works through square leg and comes back for the second even when it isn't on. The throw comes in from the deep and the keeper does the rest with ease. JP was hoping for a mistake from the fielder, but that never happened. Anything can happen now. Which team will take the victory home? Or will we have a Super Over?

de Silva to A Phehlukwayo, OUT! No need for that shot at all. Already 9 runs came off the over, absolutely no need. He'll be disappointed with that. Phehlukwayo gives the charge and looks to go big downtown. Skies it to Udana at long off who settles under it and takes it well.

L Malinga to K Rabada, OUT! Bowled! A wicket and just 1 run off it. Exceptional stuff from Lasith Malinga, upto 96 wickets in T20Is. Another slower one, but full and in line of the stumps this time, Rabada clears his front leg and tries to bang it down the ground. Misses and the stumps are disturbed. 5 runs needed off the final over.
