That’s all done for Sri Lanka in South Africa. When they came to Kingsmead ground for 1st test, they performed a magic act with the ball, decimating the hosts by 191 runs. However, when it came time to bat, it seemed like they were just going for a simple stroll as every batter came and went in no time. This was thanks to Marco Jansen’s 7 wickets, which caused havoc for every batter. We saw 5 Sri Lankan players get out for ducks, and as a result, the team managed just 42 runs in total, recording one of their lowest test scores.
