Bating first after winning toss , Australia lost two important wickets within 10 overs . Aaron Finch was out scoring 24 while David Warner got out off Malinga at 9.However, the next two batsmen Michael Clarke, Steven Smith and Watson consolidated team’ s position making Sri Lank’s position trouble some…

At the other end of the spectrum, Sri Lankan players was a disappointed lot. They bowled with good disciplines upfront before losing the plot. It could be said that they missed the services of Rangana Herath. Malinga bowled well in spurts, but he still looks short of his best.
