2018 South Africa Tour of Sri Lanka - Sri Lanka thrash South Africa in second Test to complete series whitewash Monday July 23,2018

Sri Lanka on Monday July 23,2018 completed a 2-0 Test sweep of South Africa to record their first series win over the Proteas since 2006 after Rangana Herath wreaked havoc with six wickets.

South Afric were all out for 290 in the second session of day four in Colombo, 200 runs short of their highly improbable winning target of 490.

It was South Africa’s first Test whitewash since they went down in the island nation 2-0 in a two-match series almost 12 years ago.

Scorecard
Sri Lanka 339 and 275/5 Declared
South Africa 124 and 290
Match Result Sri Lanka won by 199 Runs

Note

Sri Lanka had wrapped up the first test in Galle within three days, reducing South Africa to 73 in the second innings -- their lowest Test total since readmission to international cricket.
