RSA Vs SL, 1st Test: Jansen Takes 11 Wickets As South Africa Thump Sri Lanka By 233 Runs
South Africa wrapped up a landslide 233-run win over Sri Lanka and medium-pacer Marco Jansen finished with 11 wickets in the first Test at Kingsmead on Saturday (November 30, 2024). Sri Lanka were set an improbable 516-run target and started the fourth day in a deep hole at 103-5. They were all out for 282, hastened by the dismissal of Dinesh Chandimal, who led the resistance with 83. After Chandimal was out caught and bowled by Gerald Coetzee, Sri Lanka's last three wickets folded for 11 runs in the next six overs. Jansen, the 2.06-metre left-armer, took the last two wickets for 4-73 in the innings and 11-86 in the match for his maiden 10-for in his 14th Test.
