It was a moment to cherish for a nation that is going through a very difficult phase as the Sri Lanka national cricket team beat Australia in the fourth ODI to seal the series 3-1, with a match to go. This is Sri Lanka's first bilateral ODI series win at home against the mighty Aussies in three decades.
Australia opener David Warner said pitches offering "extreme" spin in Sri Lanka's ODI series victory have helped the tourists prepare for the upcoming Tests. The hosts took an unbeatable 3-1 lead with a narrow win in the fourth one-day international on Tuesday as Warner's 99 went in vain at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. "We're always expecting turning wickets and it's fantastic preparation for us... It's great practice leading into the Test series," Warner said after his team's four-run loss.
The Australian cricket team is currently in Sri Lanka for their multi-format series and currently both teams are squaring off in the five-match ODI series. The hosts have taken a 3-1 unassailable lead after beating Australia by 4 runs in the fourth ODI. However, the Pat Cummins-led side have already started preparing for the two-match Test series, beginning June 29 and the team have come up with a new drill to practice catching at positions close to the bat. In a video posted by cricket.com.au, head coach Andrew McDonald can be seen holding an AFL ball in his hand, and Nathan Lyon is delivering the cricket ball from the other end.
Dasun Shanaka led Sri Lanka to a historic win in the fourth ODI against Australia on Tuesday to the joy of fans amid the economic crisis in the country. The win meant Sri Lanka had sealed a series win in the 5-match contest, taking an unassailable 3-1 lead going into the final match. This is Sri Lanka's first ODI series win at home against Australia since 1992. Former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya hailed the team for their brilliant performance after their win.
India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant made his captaincy debut during the recently-concluded five-match T20I series against South Africa earlier this month. The series ended all-squared at 2-2, after the final T20I was abandoned due to rain. Pant's leadership, however, was under the scanner after India had lost the first two games to the Proteas. In the same light, former Australia spinner Brad Hogg feels Pant should back himself more often, pointing out that he shouldn't let others influence the decisions. Hogg also said that Pant should either call former India captain MS Dhoni, or have a chat with head coach Rahul Dravid if he has any doubts regarding the captaincy.
Charith Asalanka's maiden one-day international century and an inspired spin attack led Sri Lanka to a thrilling four-run series-clinching win over Australia on Tuesday. The left-handed Asalanka made 110 to guide Sri Lanka to 258 all out, a total that proved just enough to hand the hosts an unbeatable 3-1 lead in the five-match series in Colombo. Opener David Warner's 99 went in vain as Australia were bowled out for 254.
David Warner is one creative genius when it comes to entertaining his fans on social media. Apart from trying out different dance moves, he has also superimposed his face on several popular movie characters in the past and the posts have gone viral on social media. In his latest post, Warner has put his face on the cult character Daniel LaRusso from the Hollywood franchise The Karate Kid.
