Maheesh Theekshana to Ben McDermott, OUT! CAUGHT! What a start! Sri Lanka could not have asked for a better start than this. Maheesh Theekshana starts off with a carrom ball, around off. The ball turns back in off the surface and Ben McDermott is caught on the crease. McDermott tries to push at it with hard hands and ends up getting an outside edge. Charith Asalanka takes a really sharp catch at first slip and Maheesh Theekshana is pumped up.

Maheesh Theekshana to Ashton Agar, SIX AND OUT! Brilliant review for Sri Lanka and they are alive and kicking! Maheesh Theekshana comes from 'round the wicket and slides one into the pads. Ashton Agar looks to heave it leg side but misses and gets rapped on the pads. The visitors appeal confidently but on first glance it seems to be sliding down leg. They do go upstairs and there's no spike on UltraEdge. The replay shows that it was yet another carrom ball which means the ball straightened after pitching. Ball Tracker comes up with three reds and Ashton Agar has to depart. What a spell from Maheesh Theekshana! Glenn Maxwell walks out to bat.

Maheesh Theekshana to Glenn Maxwell, FOUR! Slashed and slashed hard! Quicker one, angled across off. Glenn Maxwell with quick hands slashes at it. The ball flies of the outside edge and Charith Asalanka at first slip does well to even get a fingertip on it. The ball runs away into the third man fence.

Maheesh Theekshana to Glenn Maxwell, OUT! TAKEN! Maheesh Theekshana has done the trick yet again and is there a twist in this tale? Flighted delivery, on off. Glenn Maxwell gets a bit low and looks to whip it over the mid-wicket fence. It is a long boundary out there and Maxwell doesn't get a decent connection on it. The ball flies towards the man on the mid-wicket fence and Kusal Mendis takes a good low catch in front of him. Maxwell runs out of luck and Sri Lanka might still have a chance here.

Dushmantha Chameera to Josh Inglis, FOUR! Another good bumper but this time Josh Inglis is ready for it. Around the helmet, Inglis hooks it behind square on the leg side and picks up a boundary.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Aaron Finch, FOUR! Really well executed! Quicker and close to the off pole. Aaron Finch watches it all the way through and cuts it really late, past first slip and the ball runs away into the third man fence. Just 28 needed now off 42 balls.

Jeffrey Vandersay to Aaron Finch, OUT! CAUGHT! Jeffrey Vandersay gets Australia's skipper. Bowls it short, on middle. Aaron Finch makes room for himself and tries to lift it over covers. The ball goes off the outside edge and carries through to the keeper. Dinesh Chandimal could not catch it. But the ball deflects off his gloves and goes into the hands of Charith Asalanka at first slip who takes it inches above the ground.

Dasun Shanaka to Marcus Stoinis, FOUR! Marcus Stoinis wins the game for Australia! Short ball, on middle. Marcus Stoinis pulls it towards cow corner. The fielder there misjudges it as it came too forward trying to catch the ball. It goes over him and one bounce and into the fence. Australia win by 6 wickets!
