Sri Lanka are disappointed to have suffered their third consecutive defeat while Australia found relief with their first win in the World Cup. Aussies beat Sri Lanka by five wickets. Batting first, Sri Lanka were all out for 209 runs in 43.3 overs. With 15 overs to spare, Australia won by losing five wickets.
Australia scored 215 runs in 35.2 overs. Josh Inglis and Mitchell Marsh scored half-centuries to speed up the Aussies’ victory. The return of opener David Warner (11) and Steve Smith (0) worried the Aussies at the start. However, Marnes Labuschagne and Mitchell Marsh made things easy.
Dilshan Madhushanka was the highlight of the Lankan bowlers with 3 wickets. Batting first, Lanka got off to a wild start. They scored 125 runs without losing a wicket. Half-centuries for Nisanka and Kushal Perera. Since Captain Cummins dismissed both of them, Lanka began to crumble. Adam Sampa’s 4-wicket haul added fuel to the fire.
With the win, Australia, who were last, gained two points and moved up to the eighth position. Sri Lanka still have to wait to get on the winning track.
