As their senior team have had mixed fortunes in the World Cup, the nominal Sri Lanka A team have enjoyed a successful start to their month long tour of South Africa.
After winning their first match against a South African Emerging Team, they then beat the University Sports South Africa XI today.
Despite the batting prowess of the South African Delano Potgieter who scored an 111 ball 124, Sri Lanka's all round performance saw them overhaul the University sides' 268 with two balls remaining.
There are a further 6 more ODIs between Sri Lanka and the South African Emerging team of the USSA before a two match unofficial Test against the SAE team.
