SA vs SL, 2nd Test: Bavuma hails team effort after South Africa seal series win

The Hindu  

South African captain Temba Bavuma said his team’s 109-run win in the second Test against Sri Lanka at St George’s Park on Monday was a big step forward for a largely inexperienced group of players. I don’t know what the maths looks like but we’re playing good cricket and we want it to continue.” Bavuma was named player of the series after scoring 327 runs in four innings, with a century and three fifties, but said other individuals in the team were making major contributions. Three South Africans made centuries and three bowlers had five-wicket hauls, including left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj, who took five for 76 to seal Monday’s win. “The bowling attack that South Africa had kept asking questions.” De Silva said Sri Lanka was improving in away Test matches.
