Sri Lanka beat South Africa by three runs in a tense rain-hit clash to end their losing streak in the one-day series in the fourth game in Pallekele today.
Dasun Shanaka hit a quickfire 65 as Sri Lanka blasted 306-7 off 39 overs. With a prolonged rain stoppage, South Africa was set a target of 191 from 21 overs.
After Hashim Amla made 40 and Jean-Paul Duminy 38, the tourists lost key wickets and went into the final over needing eight runs. But David Miller was bowled with Suranga Lakmal's first ball and tail-enders Junior Dala and Lungi Ngidi were then unable to hit the ball. South Africa finished on 187-9.
