Medium pacer Lahiru Madushanka was handed an ODI cap, his first ever game for Sri Lanka here in Johannesburg. The debutant was the victim of another Du Plessis stunner and was dismissed for a duck.

But his debut got better as he produced a superb first over, giving away just one run and capturing the key wicket of Faf du Plessis. Madushanka barely bowled at speeds of 130-135kmph but found some useful outswing that led to the dismissal of du Plessis.

He even tied down Amla and De Villiers in a tight four-over opening spell with some consistent lines. The debutant went on to make another telling contribution by running out Amla with a powerful throw from the deep.
