South Africa won the first Test of the series against Sri Lanka by 153 runs. Dale Steyn earned the Man of the Match award for his performance, which included taking nine total wickets through two innings. Dean Elgar accounted for 115 runs, and Jean-Paul Duminy added 108 runs. The win also marked the debut of Hashim Amla as the squad's captain.
"He had a great start, I think he is going to have an amazing career as captain," South Africa's AB de Villiers said of Amla, via CricBuzz.com. "He has all the credentials; everything that you need to be a good leader, the whole team is right behind him."
Sri Lanka struggled to produce on offense, averaging a run rate of 2.91. Skipper Angelo Mathews said after the match the team needs bigger performances from everybody in the lineup, not just from one player.
"We have seven batters in the side and to expect only one player to deliver all the time is wrong," Mathews said.
The second Test will be played at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Weather.com forecasts a partly cloudy day on Thursday isolated thunder storms; temperatures could reach as high as 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Scattered thunderstorms are expected throughout the week.
