Amla's ton in vain in Pallekele


Tillakaratne Dilshan starred with both bat and the ball as Sri Lanka crushed South Africa by 87 runs in the second one-day international to draw the three-match series level at 1-1.

Dilshan smashed 86 off 90 balls and also took three wickets for 40 runs to set the stage for a Sri Lankan victory in the day-nighter in Pallekele.

Fast bowler Lasith Malinga chipped in with 4-24 as South Africa were bowled out for 180 off 38.1 overs while chasing Sri Lanka's 267 all out.

In-form opener Hashim Amla made a run a ball 101 but failed to find support from his team mates.

Its the first time in the 13 odi hundreds he's scored that Amla has ended up on the losing side.

The third and final game will be played in Hambantota on Sunday
