Sri Lanka Cricket A Team Triangular Series in 2005–06
- Sri Lanka Cricket A Team Triangular Series in 2005–06
The Sri Lanka Cricket A Team Triangular Series was a one-day cricket tournament held in Sri Lanka from 21 September 2005 to 1 October 2005. Three A teams participated - Sri Lanka A, South Africa A New Zealand A. These were not the national cricket teams, but rather second XIs made up of players who are not judged good enough for the national side by the national selectors. There was an initial group stage where each team played each other twice, making a total of six matches, before the one-game final determined the winner. Six of seven matches were played in Colombo, while the seventh took place in Moratuwa.
South Africa A dominated the tournament, perhaps surprisingly after coming off a 0–1 defeat in the first class series against Sri Lanka A. In this tournament, however, they were dominant, and won all their five games in the tournament. The hosts Sri Lanka A were knocked out, as they had the same win-loss record as New Zealand A but fewer bonus points. South Africa A relied on the depth of their bowling attack, with seven different bowlers taking more than four wickets - Dale Steyn took the most with nine - while their captain Jacques Rudolph was the highest run-scorer with 147. However, New Zealand A had players who scored more runs (Mathew Sinclair, James Marshall and Michael Papps all exceeded Rudolph's total) and took more wickets (Chris Martin ended with 11), but the players rarely fired together.
