Proteas win 1st ODI

HASHIM Amla’s 13th century in one-day international cricket and a 151-run stand with captain AB de Villiers led South Africa to a convincing 75-run win in the first ODI against Sri Lanka in Colombo yesterday.

Amla scored 109, including eight boundaries, to take the Proteas to 304 for five in 50 overs after electing to bat first. Legspinner Imran Tahir took three wickets while seamers Ryan McLaren, Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel took two wickets each to dismiss Sri Lanka for 229 in the 41st over. Kumar Sangakkara top-scored with 88.
