Bloemfontein, April 19: South Africa, spearheaded by pace pair Roger Telemachus and Shaun Pollock, routed Sri Lanka for 105 to reach the final of the triangular limited-overs series, here, today.Sri Lanka's inadequate total was passed for the loss of five wickets in 26.3 overs by South Africa, who play Pakistan in the final at Newlands in Cape Town on Wednesday.South Africa's five-wicket win was effectively set up by man-of-the-match Telemachus, who took two for 23 in eight overs, and Pollock, with three for 21 in eight overs.The new-ball pair reduced World Cup champions Sri Lanka to 26 for four after they were put in - a plight from which they never recovered.SCOREBOARDSri Lanka: Santh Jayasuriya c Gibbs b Telemachus 7, Romesh Kaluwitharana c Kirsten b Telemachus 11, Marvan Atapattu b Pollock 4, Aravinda de Silva c Boucher b Pollock 0, Arjuna Ranatunga c Boucher b Donald 13, Roshan Mahanama c Boucher b Cronje 22, Kumara Dharmasena c Kallis b Pollock 14, Upul Chandana c Kirsten bKallis 5, Chaminda Vaas not out 10, Pramodaya Wickremasinghe c Cronje b Kallis 0, Muttiah Muralitharan c Pollock b Symcox 0; Extras (lb8, w10, nb1): 19.
