DURBAN, South Africa, Dec 29 (Reuters) – Diminutive
left-arm spinner Rangana Herath took five wickets as Sri Lanka
recorded their first test win in South Africa with a 208-run
victory at Kingsmead on Thursday.
Sri Lanka bowled the home side out for 241 just before the
close on the fourth day of the second test to level the series
at 1-1.
It was Sri Lanka’s first test victory in the country in nine
attempts and followed their innings defeat at Centurion in the
first match.
South Africa, chasing a record 450 for victory, collapsed
dismally after lunch, slumping to 133 for six before AB de
Villiers and Dale Steyn resisted for two-and-a-quarter hours.
