SL weaker yet too strong

AFP, Dambulla
Kumar Sangakkara and Avishka Guna-wardene slammed impressive halfcenturies to help an under-strength Sri Lanka crush South Africa by seven wickets in the fourth one-day international here on Saturday.
Sangakkara scored an unbeaten 74 and Gunawardene 52 as Sri Lanka surpassed South Africa's total of 235-7 with 23 balls to spare for a 4-0 lead in the five-match series.
Sri Lanka rested front-line bowlers Chaminda Vaas, Nuwan Zoysa and Rangana Herath along with captain Marvan Atapattu but still proved too strong for South Africa who suffered their ninth successive defeat, including five in New Zealand early this year.
"It's a nightmare for all of us," said South African skipper Graeme Smith.
Sri Lanka never looked under pressure as they batted confidently after the cheap dismissal of opener Sanath Jayasuriya, caught short of the crease by a Smith throw to wicketkeeper Mark Boucher while going for a risky single.
Gunawardene steadied the innings with a 59-run stand for the second wicket with Saman Jayantha (46) before man-of-the-match Sangakkara finished the job with a 98-run partnership for the unfinished fourth wicket with stand-in captain Mahela Jayawardene (48 not out).
Gunawardene struck seven fours in his 11th half-century and Sangakkara six boundaries in his 16th.
Earlier, South Africa lost their way in the middle overs after a brisk start before Shaun Pollock slammed an unbeaten half-century under pressure to prop up the innings.
South Africa scored 49 in the last five overs after being put in to bat on a slow turner, thanks to Pollock's 52 not out for his ninth half-century.
Pollock helped his team overcome its mid-innings hiccups with a timely knock which contained a pulled six off spinner Upul Chandana.
South Africa were strongly placed at 113-2 before faltering against Sri Lankan spinners, losing three wickets in the space of two runs.
Leg-spinner Kaushal Lokua-rachchi triggered the mini collapse when he dismissed Smith (46) and Jean-Paul Duminy for nought in the same over to reduce the tourists to 115-
5.
Pollock then came to his team's rescue, steadying the innings with a 64-run stand for the sixth wicket with Mark Boucher (27).
South Africa were off to a brisk start as they raced to 61 in less than 11 overs, but lost Herschelle Gibbs and Jacques Kallis in the process.
Gibbs, without a half-century on the current tour, continued to be dogged by poor form as he was bowled by seamer Dilhara Fernando after hitting five fours in his run-a-ball 27.
South Africa were in danger of falling before the 200-mark before Pollock played a gutsy knock in testing conditions.
