Wanindu Hasaranga's Heroics Go In Vain As Australia Defeat Sri Lanka To Seal Series
Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga took four wickets in Colombo on Wednesday but could stop Australia grabbing an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match Twenty20 series. Hasaranga took 4-33 in his four overs of wily leg-spin after Sri Lankan batters had once again failed to fire. The hosts only managed 124-9 after visitors won the toss and chose to field in the second T20. It was their second ordinary batting performance in the series after they were out for 128 on Tuesday. Australia then scored 126-7 in 17.5 overs for a tricky three wicket victory.
