South Africa v Sri Lanka - 1992 World Test Championship - 2nd Round - Sri Lanka 1st Innings

South Africa v Sri Lanka - 1992 World Test Championship - 2nd Round - Pretoria

Sri Lanka struggled throughout their reply to South Africa's first innings of 375.
Mahanama was caught behind off Donald in the first over for a duck, and it never got much better.
6 batsmen were out in the 30's, as a succession of batsmen threw away good starts on a blameless pitch.
The wickets were shared around evenly by South Africa's varied seam attack, as Sri Lanka posted a distinctly underwhelming performance of 249.
In heartening signs for South Africa, a good bowling performance had come without a major contribution from Donald, though he did take 2 important wickets.
South Africa claimed a first innings lead of 126 and 4 bowling bonus points, while Sri Lanka fell short of a 2nd batting point by 1 run.
