South Africa crushed Sri Lanka by 45 runs in the third and final Twenty20 International in Johannesburg to complete a series whitewash.

The result of the rain-affected match was decided on the Duckworth/Lewis/Stern method.

Sri Lanka were bowled out for 137 as they chased a reduced target of 183 in 17 overs following the rain delay at the Wanderers Stadium.

Andile Phehlukwayo claimed career-best figures of 4-24 in three overs, while man-of-the-match Dwaine Pretorius smashed an unbeaten 77 (42 balls) in South Africa's total of 198-2.

It completed a 3-0 series sweep for South Africa, who also won a one-day series 5-0.
