1.23pm: What a finish from South Africa. It looked like an innings of two halves. Dewmi completed her maiden five-for inside the 20 overs to leave South Africa reeling at 85 for 5. In came Dercksen, the saviour. She was calm under the pressure and kept the scorecard ticking at a decent rate. With Tryon on the other end, Dercksen smashed her maiden ODI hundred off just 81 deliveries and put on a massive 112-run stand off 88 balls for the seventh wicket to lift South Africa. Tryon accelerated at the end to finish on 74 off just 51 while de Klerk also chipped in with a quickfire 32 to help South Africa post 315 for 9. Dercksen has truly stepped up in this series with her third consecutive 50-plus score. South Africa will be pleased with her performance in the lead up to the ODI World Cup later this year. As far as Sri Lanka are concerned, they seemed to run out of ideas and also bowled a lot of loose deliveries after the midway stage. At the toss, Chamari said she wanted to restrict South Africa to 250 but they have ended up leaking too many at the death. Can they chase this down? Join Madushka after the break for the chase.
