Maheesh Theekshana to Quinton de Kock
Slower through the air, drifting in around leg and spinning away towards off, de Kock tries to work it on the leg side but it takes a soft leading edge. The ball goes to point and they cross.

Maheesh Theekshana to Aiden Markram
NOT OUT! Missing the stumps. Loopy delivery, full and landing outside off, Markram goes down and across to play the play paddle sweep but the ball spins past his blade to strike him on the pads. They appeal vociferously and the umpire lifts his finger. Quinton de Kock quickly advises his partner to take the DRS and Aiden does that. The replays roll in and the UltraEdge shows no bat. The impact is also in line but the Ball Tracker indicates that it's missing the leg stump. Too much turn and bounce.

Wanindu Hasaranga to Aiden Markram
SAFE! It has hit the bat first. A leg spinner, landing full around off and spinning away, Markram gets forward to defend but it takes the inner edge and strikes him on the boot. The bowler thinks it's boot first and appeals. The umpire stays unmoved. Wanindu Hasaranga convinces his skipper to take the DRS but there is nothing of any use for Sri Lanka in the replays.

Praveen Jayawickrama to Quinton de Kock
FOUR BYES! That does it. South Africa have crossed the line and they win the series too via byes. Praveen Jayawickrama serves this flatter and around middle and leg, skidding down, Quinton de Kock looks to reverse sweep but misses and the keeper is not able to stop the ball too as it races away to the fine leg fence. SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 9 WICKETS AND CLINCH THE SERIES!
