Australia scraped past Sri Lanka to take control of their five-match Twenty20 series Sunday after late fireworks from the visitors forced their second clash in Sydney to a rare super over after it ended in a tie.
A stunning Josh Hazlewood display in the Super Over has helped Australia to consecutive T20 international wins over Sri Lanka at the SCG.
Josh Inglis' 48-run knock, Pathum Nissanka's 73-run knock and Josh Hazlewood's three-wicket haul were the standout performances as Australia defeated Sri Lanka in the super over to win the second T20I of the five-match series at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday. With this win, Australia have gained a 2-0 lead in the five-match series and the third T20I will now be played on Tuesday. In the super over, Sri Lanka scored just five runs and Australia managed to chase it down. Chasing 165, Sri Lanka got off to a bad start as the side lost Danushka Gunathilaka (0) on the fifth ball of the innings to Josh Hazlewood. In his next over, Hazlewood struck again as he dismissed Avishka Fernando (5). Charith Asalanka (0) was bowled for a duck by Pat Cummins and Sri Lanka were reduced to 25/3 in the fifth over.
Australia are four wickets down against Sri Lanka in the second T20I of the five-match series at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis missed out on his maiden international fifty, as he was dismissed on 48. Australia had earlier lost both their openers Aaron Finch (18) and Ben McDermott (25). Glenn Maxwell also failed to impress as he was dismissed on 15. Earlier, Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bowl at the SCG. Kane Richardson is playing his first international match in over two years, and replaces Mitchell Starc in the playing XI. Australia lead the series 1-0 after winning the first match by 20 runs (D/L method). (LIVE SCORECARD)
Ian Chappell doesn't understand all the fuss over the resignation of Justin Langer, saying it is the captain and players who win matches not the coach. Chappell also advocated replacing the coach position with a manager. After months of complaints regarding his style of coaching, Langer had quit as chief coach, leading to criticism of Pat Cummins from former players, who slammed the skipper and his teammates for not publicly supporting him.
