New Delhi. After surrendering for just 191 runs against Sri Lanka, South Africa has made a great comeback. Host South Africa bowled out Sri Lanka for just 42 runs in 13.5 overs.

In this match being played in Durban, only one batsman of Sri Lanka could cross the double-digit mark. Sri Lanka was forced to make this shameful record by Marco Jansen. This left-arm pacer took 7 wickets.

Sri Lanka's feel-good vanished within an hour.
When South Africa was bowled out for 191 runs in the test match being played in Durban against Sri Lanka, it seemed that the visiting team had won the match. But Sri Lanka's feel-good vanished within an hour. As soon as the Sri Lankan team came out to bat, the batsmen kept coming and going. South African pacer Marco Jansen's lethal bowling reminded us of the Perth Test. When the Indian team was bowled out for 150 runs in the Perth Test, everyone started pointing out the shortcomings of the Indian batsmen. Social media was filled with the anger of fans. But when Jaspreet Bumrah started bowling, it was revealed that even a score of 150 proved to be a mountain for Australia.
