Live Cricket Score of South Africa vs Sri Lanka, 2nd ODI at Durban

In the end, it turned out to be a tame effort by Sri Lanka as they hurtled to a 121-run loss. Dinesh Chandimal amassed a useful knock of 36, while Tharanga and Dickwella notched up 20s. However, they needed sizeable contributions from the top order. Wayne Parnell, Duminy and Tahir chipped in with two wickets each. To make it a perfect day for the home side, South Africa also gave a wonderful exhibition in the field.

Earlier in the day, du Plessis and Miller's sparkling bout of run-scoring took the Proteas to a noteworthy total of 307 for 6. With this victory, South Africa take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. South Africa have won 11 ODIs in a row at home now.

The ball seems to be following du Plessis everywhere today. He grabbed his third catch to dismiss Kulasekara. This was a relatively straightforward one as he snaffled it at square leg with both hands. Sri Lanka are nine down now.

Chandimal battled hard before he fell for 36. Chaturanga de Silva soon followed him back to the pavilion with Duminy getting his first wicket. Barring the T20I series, the tour of South Africa has been a chastening experience for the Sri Lankan unit.
