Sri Lanka crumbles to record low test score of 42 against South Africa in Durban

Sri Lanka were bowled out for just 42 runs in 13.5 overs against South Africa in Durban, marking their lowest Test total ever.

Marco Jansen delivered career-best figures of 7-13, while Gerald Coetzee and Kagiso Rabada claimed the remaining wickets.

The collapse, the second-shortest innings in men’s Test history at 83 balls, left Sri Lanka trailing South Africa, who ended day two at 132-3 with a lead of 281 runs.

Sri Lanka, third in the World Test Championship standings, faces a daunting challenge to secure a place in the final, requiring victories in all upcoming matches against South Africa and Australia. South Africa, currently fifth, remains in contention with a similar path to the final.
