Theekshana ถึง S Johnson

Wicket. OUT! L.B.W. Maheesh Theekshana to Spencer Johnson. Carrom length ball, middle stump on the front foot defending, inside edge. Three reds! Australia have been bowled out for 165 and Sri Lanka secure a excellent victory in the first match of the series. Things never went to plan for Australia losing four wickets inside the powerplay. Alex Carey attempted to shift the momentum, but after a half century partnership he and Marnus Labuschagne fell in quick succession. Aaron Hardie and Sean Abbott showed some promising effort, but it was too many runs for them to get in the end. It was a fine bowling performance from the Sri Lankan spinners. Maheesh Theekshana was the standout taking four wickets, while both Dunith Wellalage and Asitha Fernando contributed by taking two wickets each. Charith Asalanka is the Player of the Match for his match-defining hundred.
