5.18pm So, handshakes all round. It's a fourth Super Sixes loss for South Africa, who will be disappointed at their showing in a de facto home tournament. But they put up a good fight, principally through their centurion Jorich van Schalkwyk. In the end, Sri Lanka were too strong. Particularly Viran Chamuditha, but also the leggie Akash, whose four wickets were the key reason why South Africa couldn't post something more imposing.

As for Sri Lanka, they must now wait and see what favours ireland can do for them tomorrow. Afghanistan are strong favourites to join Australia in the semi-finals, but a defeat will allow Sri Lanka to join them instead.

Until then, they can dream. From Miller, Alan and Chetan, good night!

Kruiskamp to Heenatigala, FOUR, a lusty thump downt the ground... Sri Lanka do their bit! A hard-earned but emphatic win, and for the moment, they are in the qualification places from Group 1.

Kruiskamp to Sigera, no run, is that a drop? No. An advance to the pitch, a scuff of the bat as the yorker swung late past the off stump... in fact the keeper's disappointment is pain, as he jarred his finger

Anver Azeez : "Two centurions in the match but my obvious choice for today"s POM is VIRAN!" Seems fair. Akash was very good too, I thought
