Sri Lanka v South Africa - Sri Lanka Tri-Series ODI - at Sinhalese Sports Club Ground, Colombo - 1991/2

Injuries:
R.P.Snell - Thigh Strain (miss 1 match)

Debuts: South Africa - All bar K.C.Wessels, Sri Lanka - G.P.Wickramasinghe

Peter Kirsten played well for South Africa to top score with 64 as they posted 211/8 off 50 overs after being inserted in Humid conditions aiding Swing on a pitch that was Good For Batting.
It was the Sri Lankan spinners who did most to restrict the South African scoring after the opening bowlers disappointed in conditions which should have aided them.
The Sri Lankan openers added 65 in quick time but a collapse against the seamers left their side 89/5 and in some trouble.
Sri Lanka keeper batsman Hashan Tillakaratne and Number 7 Marvan Atapattu then scored unbeaten half centuries in an unbroken partnership of 125* to take their side to victory with 3 overs to spare.
Allan Donald and Meyrick Pringle had bowled well for South Africa but lacked support as the other bowlers leaked runs.
