SA look to complete a 2nd white-ball whitewash over SL

South Africa will be looking to complete a second white-ball whitewash over Sri Lanka this month in today's third T20I in Johannesburg.

The Proteas swept the tourists 5-0 in the preceding ODI series and now hold an unassailable 2-0 lead in the T20I series following Friday's 16-run success at Centurion. South Africa posted 180-3, with Reeza Hendricks (65) and Rassie van der Dussen (64) striking half-centuries, before reducing Sri Lanka to 83-7.

However, Isuru Udana made the hosts sweat with a thrilling cameo, which featured six sixes and eight fours as Sri Lanka rallied to make 164-9.

Sri Lanka's batting, bar Udana, malfunctioned, with Thisara Perera the next highest scorer for Lasith Malinga's men with 22 followed by Niroshan Dickwella with 20.

Malinga, though, bowled neatly en route to figures of 1-26 from his four overs, the veteran seamer making Hendricks his 97th victim in international T20s when he deceived him with a slower ball.
