Sri Lanka and Australia square off in the final game of their three-match ODI series, with the Aussies holding an unassailable 2-0 lead. Join The Roar for live scores from 11:30pm AEST.
Australia secured back-to-back wins over Sri Lanka in Colombo, but the second was markedly closer than the first.
After a ten-wicket triumph chasing 124, a target of 128 in Game 2 proved substantially more difficult, with the Aussies slumping to 7-99 before Matthew Wade and Jhye Richardson calmly steered them home with more than two overs to spare.
Mitchell Starc will once again miss, after slicing his hand open on his own bowling spike in the first match of the series.

Mr Right
Roar Rookie
I think that was the biggest turnaround I have ever seen. I was quite surprised when Finch thru the ball to Richardson for the last over. I was expecting Stoinis to bowl it. Richardson going for 15.5 runs an over. I think that will be the last time we see him in Australian colours.

Kane Richardson is such a rubbish bowler. I have never seen a so called death over specialists who can’t defend 19 runs!! He leaks runs profusingly and boasts his average with junk wickets.

Could be. Is someone winning, asking for a friend who's not much into 20/20.

Is it worth noting that 10 or the 11 Sri Lankans have names that end in A?
