Sri Lankan Opening Stand:
Sri Lanka had a bright start in a bid to chase down the target of 300, as their openers went on to post 69, in hurry in 8.2 overs, but the rest of the batsmen couldn’t make anything out of the momentum set by the left-handed combination early on.
Niroshan Dickewella scored 41 off 36 balls, as Upul Tharanga was batting on 18 off 19 balls when first blood was drawn by the Proteas.
