AB De Villiers made 63 off 44 balls in a South African total of 169 for five but Sri Lanka won by five wickets with one ball to spare to regain some pride after being outplayed in a three-match Test series. “I’m over the moon,” said stand-in Sri Lankan captain Dinesh Chandimal.
“After losing the Test series, I’m really happy with the way we played.” Opening batsman Niroshan Dickwella made 68 off 51 balls before Seekkuge Prasanna clinched a 2-1 series win for the tourists by slamming an unbeaten 37 off 16 deliveries. Dickwella was named man of the match and man of the series after making useful contributions in all three matches.
