Sri Lanka's challenge has come to an end. Restricted to 121, Sri Lanka lost by 71 runs (DLS Method) to go 3-0 down in the three-match series. It might have been a bit unfair on the visitors as to how things panned out due to the rains but South Africa were always ahead in the contest. Surely, the better side won.

And the wickets continue to tumble.Thisara Perera too falls.The required rate has put Sri lanka's chase off already.

WICKET Knowing fully that the batsmen is going to come after him, Imran Tahir bowls wide outside the off stump. Kusal Mendis makes a desperate attempt to connect only to top edge it and give the leggie a chance to catch it.

While Thisara Perera has struggled against Tabraiz Shamsi, Kusal Mendis has dispatched him twice in the stands to keep Sri Lanka fighting in the chase.

WICKET Tabraiz Shamsi has struck right after the rain break, dismissing Oshada Fernando. It may not be the worst thing to happen to Sri Lanka as that brings Thisara Perera to the crease.
