Australia's batting crumbled as Sri Lanka evened the five-match one-day series. 9WWOS
Karunaratne led the way for Sri Lanka as he tested the Australian batsmen with clever changes of pace. He was well backed up by Dushmantha Chameera, who finished with 2-19.
Sri Lanka was without their key leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga who was ruled out with a groin injury. Youngster Dunith Wellalage and part-time spinner Dhananjaya de Silva were handy with their spin, claiming two wickets apiece.. The middle order batter was playing spin so well and had raced to 30 off 25 balls with five fours, before Karunaratne tested Maxwell with a short ball which he tried to pull but didn’t get the execution right and was caught at point.
Virtually playing with a second string attack, test captain Pat Cummins rose to the occasion with a four-wicket haul to restrict Sri Lanka to 220-9 in 47.4 overs.
