They've become the first Asian country to win a Test series in South Africa.

Oshada Fernando and Kusal Mendis hit unbeaten half centuries to help the tourists chase down 197 and win the second Test at Port Elizabeth by eight wickets. 

It comes after they successfully chased down 304 last week to win the opening Test at Durban by a single wicket.
