Proteas fail trial by Sri Lankan spin as they slump to yet another ODI series defeat BraMahlatse
The Proteas, who have not won an ODI series since they beat Australia about 18 months ago, dropped a crucial 10 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League points as a result of this 78-run defeat.
In reply, the Proteas stuttered out of the blocks as they collapsed to 54/6 after 16 overs as Aiden Markram, Reeza Hendricks, Janneman Malan, Wiaan Mulder and Heinrich Klaasen perished early without contributing much. Theekshana accounted for Janneman Malan , Heinrich Klaasen , Kagiso Rabada and Maharaj and Chameera claimed Reeza Hendricks and Rassie van der Dussen while Hasaranga de Silva got Wiaan Mulder and George Linde .
For SA, there was nothing much to enthuse about with the bat as Klaasen was their highest scorer with 22 and was followed by Phehlukwayo with 17 as the rest failed to convert their starts. Fast bowlers Rabada, who bowled eight overs, and Phehlukwayo, who bowled one over, ended their spells with no mentions in the wickets column, while Mulder, who also bowled one over, claimed one scalp.
