And with the quick turnaround this evening, that's all we've got time for from Hambantota, we're quickly switching to our coverage from Colombo, where Sid Monga has all the details as West Indies bat first against Australia, so head over there and I'll see you tomorrow, stay classy...



So that's that and in terms of a 7-over match that is a hammering, South Africa win by 38 runs and qualify top of the group - not that it matters of course. AB de Villiers' made 30 from just 13 balls and with Duminy's late burst of 12 in 5 balls got too many for Sri Lanka to get even close to. They bowled well at the start and that killed the chase.
