ICC World Twenty20 - 7th match, Group C

Sri Lanka v South Africa

South Africa won by 32 runs

T20I no. 269 | 2012/13 season
Played at Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium, Sooriyawewa, Hambantota
22 September 2012 - day/night (20-over match)


South Africa innings (7 overs maximum)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
RE Levi	c Munaweera b Kulasekara	4	2	4	0	0	100.00
0.4 58.5 mph, slower ball, chipped into the leg side off the toe of the bat, and a superb diving catch going back from mid on. Brilliant take, diving backwards at full length and claiming it with two hands. The slower ball deceived Levi who was backing away trying to give himself room, ended up being too soon with the shot and chipped it up 4/1
HM Amla	st †Sangakkara b Herath	16	14	9	3	0	177.77
2.6 56.6 mph, down the wicket, now this is agricultural, misses completely and Sangakkara has the bails off before Amla can even say, "oh dear", I think this 7-7 stuff has gone to Amla's head, just play properly! But he's gone swinging, missing totally a ball that was angled in and beat him as he backed away and it went past leg stump 27/2
F du Plessis	c Mendis b Perera	13	29	11	0	0	118.18
6.4 83.1 mph, full just outside off, struck down the ground but doesn't clear long off, looked a good strike but it was taken right on the rope 68/4
AB de Villiers*†	c Mendis b Malinga	30	15	13	1	2	230.76
5.6 88.0 mph, stepped across the stumps, full again, chipped to mid off, didn't time it at all, straight to the fielder 65/3
JP Duminy	not out	12	5	5	1	1	240.00

JA Morkel	not out	0	2	0	0	0	-

Sri Lanka innings (target: 79 runs from 7 overs)		R	M	B	4s	6s	SR
DPMD Jayawardene*	c Behardien b Steyn	4	12	6	1	0	66.66
1.6 80.1 mph, leg stump and flicked straight to deep square leg, seemed to pick it up quite nicely but picked out the fielder with perfection, he didn't have to move a few yards in off the rope and took it hands inverted at shoulder height, a solid take 8/2
TM Dilshan	run out (JA Morkel/†de Villiers)	0	5	0	0	0	-
0.4 M Morkel to Jayawardene, slapped straight to extra cover, Dilshan is slow to come through, in comes the throw, de Villiers take it on the run and dives at the stumps and gets there in time what a play from de Villiers! That was baseball style, taking the ball and getting back to break the stumps, super work 4/1
EMDY Munaweera	c Behardien b JA Morkel	13	30	14	1	0	92.85
6.2 78.8 mph, cut straight to deep cover, back of a length ball slapped perfectly to the fielder as he gave himself a hint of room 40/5
KC Sangakkara†	c †de Villiers b Kallis	13	13	11	1	0	118.18
4.5 84.0 mph, swing outside off, a thin edge through to the keeper was trying to go leg side, clearing the front leg to a full ball and it came off a top edge to chest height for de Villiers 30/3
NLTC Perera	c Duminy b Steyn	1	5	3	0	0	33.33
5.2 76.0 mph, length ball and pulled to midwicket. Straight ball, tried to go over the leg side but it's takes some to clear these big boundaries, didn't catch it correctly and it landed directly where the fielder had just been moved to on the leg side fence 32/4
