First of all my Congratulations to SA and comiserations to SL team and fans.I think Srilankan bowling did pretty well specially Chaminda Vaas was excellent.he gave just 16 runs for his 10 overs taking 3 crucial wickets.At one stage SA was 30/3 but then aftarwards Kallis and AB deVilliers performed well and they took the score up to 110. At the score of 110,Kallis got victim of jayasuriya.The rest of SA batsmen performed average and steadily took there team to a fighting total of 219/9 in 50 overs.AB deVilliers was the highest scorer scoring 54 valuable runs.Srilanka batting in reply,gave poor performance and was bolwed out at just 141 runs in just 39.1 overs .Ntini,Pollock and Nel really tighen up the things.they took 2,2 and 3 wickets respectively.Pollock remained the most economical bowler.He gave 21 runs for his wonderfull 10 overs.Shaun Pollock was also awarded Man of the Match award for his match winning performance.The match ended up with SouthAfrian victory by 78 runs.
