South Africa Vs Sri Lanka Live Cricket Score - Live Score, 2nd T20I Match - Full Scorecard

I Udana to A Markram, OUT! Not a great debut for Markram! He looked to cut loose and the ball was available but he holes out at mid on. A fuller length ball on the pads, Aiden looked to flick it over the head of mid on for a boundary but he does not generate enough power. The ball lobs up and goes to the right of mid on where Malinga moves and takes a good catch. Maybe the batsman should have looked to go a little more squarer there, the bat turned in his hand as he played the shot. A tad early into the attempted loft as well. Anyways, Sri Lanka have struck early here, just the start they would have liked.

L Malinga to R Hendricks, OUT! Caught! The slower ball does the trick for Malinga. Rolls his fingers over the ball, lands it on a length, Hendricks looks to flick but is a touch early into the shot. The ball takes the leading edge and dies down towards mid off but Kamindu Mendis comes running in, keeps his eyes on the ball and dives forward to take a wonderful catch. The 116-run association is broken at last. Can Sri Lanka pull things back from here?

A Dananjaya to van der Dussen, OUT! BOWLED! The dangerous Rassie departs after a well made 64. A much needed breakthrough for Sri Lanka. It was a tossed up delivery on middle, van der Dussen came down the track to go big but ended up yorking himself. The ball sneaked through and disturbed the timber. The hosts lose their third wicket and this could be a big dent in their final score.

C Morris to N Dickwella, OUT! Niroshan Dickwella gives his wicket cheaply. Soft dismissal. After 4 dot balls, Morris gets a wicket. Full on middle, Dickwella looks to loft it over mid on but does not get the timing on it. It goes straight to Lutho Sipamla who takes a comfortable catch. The hosts are three down in no time. Sri Lanka need 150 runs in 97 balls.

D Steyn to A Fernando, OUT! First breakthrough for South Africa. Steyn bowls on a good length on middle, Fernando is early into the shot while looking to flick but gets beaten for pace. The bat turns in his hands. The ball lobs up in the air and goes towards mid-wicket where Shamsi takes the simplest of catches. A unique celebration follows. The visitors need 180 runs in 117 balls.

D Steyn to K Mendis, OUT! Gone! Steyn has two in an over! After a poor delivery the last one, Dale bowls this peach. Lands it on middle and off and on a good length. It shapes away late. Mendis was looking to drive down the ground but the movement knocks the top of off stump after going past the bat. The batsman is almost floored by that ball. Reminds us of the Steyn of the past. Fiery! This match already starting to look in favour of the hosts now!

D Pretorius to T Perera, OUT! Top edge and taken! Sri Lanka are a sorry 56/5. A short ball, around middle, Thisara looks to pull but gets a top edge. The ball has gone nowhere and the keeper gets under it. Simple catch and Thisara is out of here.

C Morris to K Mendis, OUT! Caught behind and it is 2 in 2 for Morris! A double-wicket maiden for Morris and the visitors are in a massive pool of trouble. On a good length, outside off, Kamindu just pokes at it. But the ball moves away and takes the thinnest of outside edges. Sinethemba Qeshile hears the nick and straightaway celebrates. The umpire acknowledges. This over might have just broken the Lankan backbone.

T Shamsi to A Perera, OUT! Edged and taken! Shamsi amongst the wickets now. Full and outside off, the googly, Perera pushes at it, lunging well away from the body and gets a thick outside edge. Simple catch to JP Duminy at first slip.

L Sipamla to I Udana, OUT! That is simply superb from the skipper! It is ironic to say that it is a superb piece of fielding when the fielder drops a sitter but seeing what he has produced after that, makes your hair stand on end. Let us go event by event. Full and outside off, Udana swings high and handsome in the air. The ball almost touches the stratosphere and when it comes down, Duminy is waiting for it at cover. But he is not able to judge the downward path and catches it away from his body, or rather, looks to do so. Puts it down. But then, here comes the main stuff. Duminy gets up in a flash, quickly sensing that the batsmen are looking for the single. Dhananjaya de Silva has come a long way down but Udana has gone nowhere. Duminy quickly picks up the ball and has an under-arm shy at the bowler's end. Hits them and celebrates. The umpire refers it upstairs and replays show that de Silva is well short.

T Shamsi to A Dananjaya, OUT! TIMBER! There goes the 8th wicket. Sri Lanka do not have choice as they have to go for the shots. Floated well outside off, Dananjaya looks to play against the turn, looking to play the slog sweep but in the process, drags it back onto the stumps.

C Morris to L Malinga, OUT! TIMBER! Chris Morris has the last laugh. Perfect yorker on middle, Malinga makes room and looks to drive but misses it and gets bowled. He had no clue about that and he paid the price for it. Expensive over from South Africa. 16 runs and a wicket have come from the over. Sri Lanka need 32 runs in the last over to win the match.
