South African openers - Adnaan Lagadien and Van Schalkwyk are on the crease. Both will have the responsibility to give their team a solid start. Viran Chamuditha start the proceeding for Sri Lanka with the ball.

RSA 1/0 (1)

Adnaan Lagadien and Van Schalkwyk have provided South Africa with a decent start so far against a solid Sri Lankan bowling attack. However, it's still a bit early and their team would want them to go for as long as possible.

RSA 31/0 (6)

Adnaan Lagadien (41*) and Van Schalkwyk (40*) have got South Africa off to a solid start. Both the batters have set up a good base for the next batters to build and post a big total against Sri Lanka.

RSA 83/0 (15)

Sri Lanka finally gets the first breakthrough in the form of Van Schalkwyk, who was castled by Vigneshwaran Akash for 46. Skipper Muhammed Bulbulia joins Adnaan Lagadien on the crease, who's batting well on 52 not out.

RSA 104/1 (21)

Sri Lanka have a mini-comeback in the match with 3 wickets in quick intervals. Vigneshwaran Akash picked two out of the three wickets fallen so far. Jason Rowles was the last man to depart, who was dismissed by Chamika Heenatigala for 5.

RSA 150/3 (31)

Jorich Van Schalkwyk brings a scintillating ton against Sri Lanka in 125 balls. He has smashed 10 fours and 2 sixes throughout his innings so far. SA would want him to unleash in the last 10 overs to get them to a big total.

RSA 194/4 (40)

Despite getting off to a solid 96-run opening start, South Africa have failed to capitalise on it, which has been their story of the tournament so far. Vigneshwaran Akash has been the wrecker-in-chief for Sri Lanka, scalping four key wickets of South Africa including that of centurion Jorich Van Schalkwyk

RSA 225/7 (46)

Paul James (37 not out) and Michael Kruiskamp (21 not out) stay there till the end to take South Africa to a 261-run total. Sri Lanka did well by picking wickets at regular intervals and controlling the run-rate, but it would not be easy chasing this target in a high-pressure match. Let's see how the second innings unfolds.

Both the Sri Lankan openers - Dimantha Mahavithana and Viran Chamuditha are on the crease to chase down the target of 262 in 50 overs. It is a middling kind of a target which would definitely test the resolve of SL batters.

SL 5/0 (3)

Sri Lanka are in a strong position in the run chase as Senuja Wekunagoda (17*) and Viran Chamuditha (48*) have carved a decent 57-run stand for the 2nd wicket off just 47 balls.

SL 80/1 (13)

The second wickets partnership between Senuja Wekunagoda (32*) and Viran Chamuditha (80*) is going from strength to strength. Both the batters have forged an ongoing 108-run stand between them. SL now need 131 runs in 29 overs.

SL 131/1 (21)

Sri Lanka have lost Senuja Wekunagoda for 48, and in comes Vimath Dinsara to the crease. The match still is heavily in the Lankans' favour, as they need 92 more runs in 22 overs and have eight wickets in hand. Meanwhile, Viran Chamuditha is advancing towards a match-winning hundred.

Viran Chamuditha gets to a well-deserved hundred but falls for 110 eventually. Sri Lanka lose Kavija Gamage too for 13 as the chase which seemed to be going at a canter gets relatively interesting. Sri Lanka still hold all the aces, needed 27 runs in the last nine overs with six wickets still in the bag.

In Lahore, Pakistan defeat Australia by 22 runs in the first T20I. The Aussies crawl to 146 for eight in 20 overs, in response to the hosts' 168-run total. The Men In Green came up with a splendid display with the ball, using their four-spinner battery to great effect.

Sri Lanka finally get over the line in the 46th over. They lose five wickets along the way, with South Africa fighting hard but unable to change what appeared like a done deal through most of the chase. The Lankans thus stay in the reckoning for the semi-finals with the victory.
