Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat first. They started very well riding on the performances from Kusal Perera (78) and Pathum Nissanka (61). But once they perished Sri Lanka suffered a massive collapse and could only reach a total of 209. Adam Zampa (4/47) was the pick of the Aussie bowlers Chasing the total, Australia lost two wickets quickly to Dilshan Madushanka (3/38) but fought back riding on Mitchell Marsh's (52) counter-attack and then Josh Inglis (58) added another half-century to take Australia to the threshold of victory. Glenn Maxwell did the remaining needful.
