Zoysa sinks proteas

Fast bowler Nuwan Zoysa ripped through South Africa's top-order to guide Sri Lanka to a comfortable 37-run win in the second one-dayer at the Premdasa Stadium here on Sunday.
The left-arm seamer took a careerbest 5-26 as South Africa crumbled for 176, while chasing a modest target of 214, to go 2-0 down in the five-match series.
Zoysa more than made up for a lacklustre performance from Sri Lanka's batsmen as he picked up the first five wickets of the innings to improve on his previous best effort of 428 against New Zealand at Wellington in 2001.
The 26-year-old, whose figures were the best by a Sri Lankan against South Africa in one-dayers, claimed the prized scalps of captain Graeme Smith and allrounder Jacques Kallis to put the tourists in trouble.
Zoysa's first victim was opener Herschelle Gibbs, bowled playing across the line. Left-hander Nicky Boje fell a little later as he tried to clear the infield but was caught at point.
Smith was bowled off an insideedge, while Kallis was trapped leg-before before Jacques Rudolph edged an outswinger to wicket-SEE PAGE 14 COL 4 FROM PAGE 13
keeper Kumar Sangakkara.
Just after new-ball bowlers Zoysa and Chaminda Vaas had finished their opening spells of eight overs each, legspinner Kaushal Lokuarachchi dismissed Mark Boucher to reduce South Africa to 50-6.
