Preview: Sri Lanka won the toss and sent South Africa in to bat in the third and final Twenty20 international. Sri Lankan captain Lasith Malinga said he hoped his side could restrict South Africa to “150 or 160” and then put on a better batting performance than they have managed in losing all five one-day internationals as well as the first two T20 games. It is South Africa’s last match of their home season. Duminy said all-rounder Dwaine Pretorius had been promoted to number three in the batting order because of his limited opportunities to bat in previous matches. ((Full scorecard and commentary))
