Sri Lanka’s hopes of an upset win were extinguished when overnight batsmen Dhananjaya de Silva and Kusal Mendis were dismissed inside the first 10 overs of the day. Kagiso Rabada then had Sri Lankan captain De Silva caught behind for 50, exposing the Sri Lankan tail. “For a lot of the guys it was a proper taste of what Test cricket is about,” said Bavuma of a hard-fought match which went into the fifth day.
Three South Africans made centuries and three bowlers had five-wicket hauls, including left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj, who took five for 76 to seal Monday’s win.“It’s always a good sign when guys are putting in match-winning performances. It speaks to the hunger and desire amongst the team.” Sri Lankan captain Dhananjaya de Silva said his team had improved on their performance in Durban, where they were beaten by 233 runs after being blown away for 42 in the first innings.
