African bowling overpowered Sri Lanka

The Sri Lankan team could play only 13.5 overs in the first innings of this match and collapsed after scoring 42 runs. During this, fast bowler Marco Yanson bowled amazingly. He single-handedly killed 7 batsmen. Marco Janson bowled only 6.5 overs and took 7 wickets for 13 runs. Apart from Marco Yanson, Gerald Coetzee also took 2 wickets and Kagiso Rabada got 1 success.

Let us tell you, the Sri Lankan team was all out in just 83 balls in this innings, with this it became the second team to be all out on the least number of bowlers in Test cricket. Earlier in 1924, against England at Edgbaston, the South African team was out for 30 runs in 75 balls. This means that after 100 years in Test cricket, no team has been in such a bad condition.

This incident happened for the first time with Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has also made a shameful record with this. This is his lowest score in test cricket. Earlier in 1994, Sri Lankan team was all out for 71 runs against Pakistan. At the same time, this is the first time that she has been all out in a Test without touching the 50 run mark. On the other hand, South Africa all outed a team on such a small score for the first time. Earlier in 2013, South Africa had defeated New Zealand for 45 runs.
