AB Devilliers' Top 5 ODI Innings away from home

4. 108 vs Sri Lanka, Hambantota, 2014

AB Devilliers was at his inventive best vs Sri Lanka in the series decider

South Africa and Sri Lanka squared off for the series decider at Hambantota with South Africa looking for its first-ever series win in the Island nation having been soundly beaten on their last 2 tours there.

South Africa got off to a great start provided by Amla and Decock with the latter going on to make an impressive century himself. However, two quick wickets brought Sri Lanka back into the match.

With the match on the knife's edge, AB Devilliers entered and produced an astonishing display of batsmanship toying the home spinners with sweeps, reverse sweeps, inside out cover drives in an exhibition of stroke play rarely seen in a match of high importance.

ABD finished up making 108 of just 71 balls at an incredible strike rate of over 150 and South Africa racked up 339 that proved to be way too much for the home team resulting in the Proteas winning their first ever ODI series in Sri Lanka.

Again, it was the captain's innings of Devilliers in the big match that made the difference and showcased yet again why he is arguably one of the greatest batsman ever.
