RESULT: South Africa beat Sri Lanka by 32 runs

Sri Lanka have been completely outplayed in this match. They face an impossible task of scoring 41 from the last over for victory.

Albie Morkel to bowl the final over. He starts with a big wide down the leg side and captain de Villiers is not impressed with that start. Mendis pulls the next ball to midwicket which goes on the bounce to the fielder for one.

Munaweera cuts the next ball straight to the fielder on the point boundary to be dismissed for 13.

Mendis hits the next ball to covers for one and Lahiru Thirimanne is dropped off the first ball as he looks to cut it but Morne Morkel fails to take the catch jumping high.

He gets another couple from the first ball before a single to end the match.

South Africa coast to a 32-run victory in a rain-hit match to underline their credentials as one of the top favourites for the title.
