AUS vs SL, T20 World Cup Live Updates:

Kumara to Finch, 2 runs, full and wide of off, an off-balance Finch reaches out for it and gets enough wood to clear the mid-off fielder. The Australian captain hits the winning runs and Australia romp home by 7 wickets!

AUS 158/3 (16.3)

AUS vs SL, T20 World Cup Live Updates:

M Theekshana to Stoinis, SIX, Stoinis is on fire! Theekshana pulls his length back, Stoinis backs away and swings his bat hard to carve it over deep extra cover for an 87m maximum

AUS 146/3 (16)

AUS vs SL, T20 World Cup Live Updates:

Karunaratne to Maxwell, out Caught by (sub)Ashen Bandara!! Maxwell's gone! Karunaratne is pumped up. Bandara, the sub fielder who dropped one off the previous ball, doesn't err now. This is a big wicket and Sri Lanka know the value. A slower ball at 99kph, Maxwell waits and pummels it over mid-wicket. The contact was good but the placement wasn't spot-on from the Big Show. Bandara, at deep mid-wicket, times his jump and gobbles it over his head. He is very close the boundary rope and he balances himself superbly to complete the proceedings. Maxwell c (sub)Ashen Bandara b Karunaratne 23(12) [4s-2 6s-2]
