South Africa succumbed to their second defeat in Sri Lanka in the ongoing ODI series, which will make it extremely difficult for them to come back into the tussle from here onwards.
Sri Lanka were declared as winners by 17 runs in a rain-curtailed Second ODI at Colombo. Batting first, the hosts struggled to reach 223 for 9 in 49.2 overs before heavy rain ended their innings abruptly.
