Sport

South Africa beat Sri Lanka by 10 wickets on the third day of the second and final Test at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg on Tuesday (5) to complete a 2-0 series clean sweep.

Despite a century by captain Dimuth Karunaratne, Sri Lanka were bowled out for 211 in their second innings after resuming on 150 for four.

Karunaratne's dismissal for 103 started a collapse in which the last six wickets fell for 35 runs.

Lungi Ngidi took four for 44 and fellow fast bowler Lutho Sipamla ripped through the tail to take three for 40.

Sri Lanka 157 and 211 (D. Karunaratne 103, L. Thirimanne 31, N. Dickwella 36; L Ngidi 4/44, L. Sipamla 3/40)

South Africa 302 and 67-0 (A. Markram 36 not out, D. Elgar 31 not out)
