Good win in the first match, and looking forward to the second game. Can the Proteas bounce back?

Leaving the pitch after 15 overs South Africa are 142 for the loss of one wicket. The wicket was of Gibbs who went off at 58.
Progress of match:-
The starting partnership ok Gibbs and Smith was a nightmare for the bowlers as they made 97 runs together. The fast bowlers, Gamage and Vaas tried all they could but didn?t succeed. Until the duo went for a suicide run and Gibbs knew he couldn?t reach the crease in time. The second partnership was at 45 runs when we left. Smith was at 54 and Kallis at 11.
Statistics:-
Conditions: Hot and humid, Overcast, Medium chance of rain, Dry pitch
Score: 142/1
Overs: 15
Top Scorer: Gibbs (58)
Top Bowler Gamage (0-61)
Bowlers used: 2
South Africa are 142/1. They have 35 overs and have 9 wickets in hand.

Trouble everyone. I completed the south African innings then saved them (I usually save them in slot 3 now also I saved in slot 3) and took screenshots of scorecard bowling figures and partnership. Then I quit the match. When I quit cricket 2004 the computer restarted automatically. When I checked the folder for screens the screens of scorecard bowling figures and partnership were not there but other videos were there that I took before this. Then I opened cricket 2004 and went to game modes then load game and went to slot three. It showed no games saved in this slot for this user. I had selected the right user and I am sure that I did no do anything wrong. The south Africans made 380-390 in score and lost 7 or 8 wickets in 50 overs should I continue from here with a new game or start from first? or can I use any editor to make my 15 over scorecard? I scaned for a virus but didn?t fid one. What?s the problem? The problem is genuine.

So at the end of 15 overs South Africa are 89 for the loss of two wickets. Gibbs (20) and Kallis (18) were the one?s to depart. The third wicket partnership was still going on as we left. It was worth 12 runs and Smith was at 26 and Rudolph at 6.
Progress of match: -
The opening partnership was worth only 41 as Gibbs departed at 20 when he tried to go for a double but did not reach the crease in time. The score, 41/1. The second partnership of Kallis and Smith lasted only a few overs and was worth only 36 runs. As Kallis couldn?t hit the ball right, got an edge, and the ball went straight to the keeper for an easy catch. The score 77/2. Then Rudolph came and put up a 12 run partnership assisted by Smith. And the partnership still goes on.

So at the end of 50 overs South Africa made 322 runs with the loss of 9 wickets. Rudolph made 96 runs and Boucher made 54. While Muralitharan and Gamage were the top wicket takers.
Progress of match: -
From where we left the Partnership of Rudolph and Boucher was worth 111. And in that vital partnership both of the batsman made Half-Centuries. Then Boucher left Rudolph when he got caught by Sangakkara. The score 257/5. The partnerships that came next were of no use to South Africa as they added only a few runs to the score. The highest among those partnerships was worth only 20 which Rudolph and Pollock put together. Then Rudolph departed as the 8th wicket when he got out in a catch when he was 96.

After 16 Overs the Sri Lankan top order put up 146 for the loss of only one wicket. Currently at the crease are Jayasuriya at 80 and Attapatu at 19.

The opening partnership of Jayasuriya and Kaluwitharana really annoyed the bowlers reducing the run rate from 6.5 to 5, they put up 117 when Kaluwitharana misaimed the ball and the ball went safely to a fielder?s hand in the 13th over. He was at 43 . The score 117/1. Then Attapatu came and continued till the 16 over.
