Hazlewood stars as Australia beat Sri Lanka by 20 runs in rain-hit opening T20I
Josh Hazlewood claimed career-best Twenty20 international figures of 4-12 to guide Australia to a 20-run victory against Sri Lanka at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday, in the rain-affected opener of the five-match series. Australia comfortably defended a Duckworth-Lewis-Stern adjusted target score of 143, with spinner Adam Zampa (3-18) inflicting early damage before Hazlewood iced the game with late wickets. The tourists ended on 122-8 after 19 overs, with the chase reduced after rain interrupted in the 15th over.
