Sri Lanka vs Australia, 2nd ODI Live Score Updates: Australia Opt To Field vs Sri Lanka

SL vs AUS, 2nd ODI Live Updates: Australia skipper Aaron Finch won the toss and elected to field first against Sri Lanka in the second one-day international on Thursday. The injury-hit tourists, who lead the five-match series 1-0, made three changes and handed left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann his ODI debut in Pallekele. Kuhnemann, Travis Head and Mitchell Swepson come in for Ashton Agar, Marcus Stoinis and Jhye Richardson. Sri Lanka made one change with the injured Wanindu Hasaranga making way for Jeffrey Vandersay as they look to bounce back from their opening loss. Hasaranga's absence is a big blow for Sri Lanka, with the all-rounder having played a brilliant knock at the death and then returned his best ODI figures in the last match. (LIVE SCORECARD)
