Player Of The Match
  • 18.6

    OUT! Run Out. Pat Cummins to Lakshan Sandakan. Slower ball back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, back to bowler, fielded by Cummins. It's all over, Cummins shows amazing awareness and agility to gather the ball and remove the stump from the ground after the bails had already been dislodged. A sorry end to the innings for Sri Lanka, however another fantastic Australian effort in the field.

    The hosts will require just 118 to seal the series with a game to spare thanks to a sublime bowling and fielding performance. Kusal Perera briefly threatened for the tourists, playing some gorgeous strokes on his way to 27, however no other Sri Lankan batsman could really get going against a relentless Aussie attack.

  • 18.5

    Pat Cummins to Lakshan Sandakan. Half volley, off stump backing away driving, to extra cover for no runs, fielded by Smith.

  • 18.4

    Pat Cummins to Nuwan Pradeep. Length ball, to leg backing away driving, to long on for 1 run, fielded by Finch.

  • 18.3

    Pat Cummins to Lakshan Sandakan. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, to deep mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Maxwell.

  • 18.2

    Wide Pat Cummins to Lakshan Sandakan. Short, outside off stump swayed away Leave, Left to wicketkeeper for 1 run, fielded by Carey.

  • 18.1

    FOUR! Pat Cummins to Lakshan Sandakan. Short, outside off stump backing away hooking, top edge in the air uncontrolled past third man for 4 runs. Sandakan didn't know too much about that but it's crucial runs for the visitors nonetheless.

  • 17.6

    Adam Zampa to Lakshan Sandakan. Leg spinner yorker, outside off stump on the front foot driving, to deep cover for 1 run, fielded by Agar.

  • 17.5

    Adam Zampa to Nuwan Pradeep. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, top edge in the air uncontrolled to mid on for 1 run, dropped catch by Zampa, shy attempt by Maxwell.

  • 17.4

    APPEAL! Adam Zampa to Nuwan Pradeep. Googly length ball, off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad to gully for no runs, fielded by Finch, appeal made for L.B.W. Strangled appeal but that was sliding down leg.

  • 17.3

    OUT! Stumped. Adam Zampa to Lasith Malinga. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump down the track Slog, missed to wicketkeeper, by Carey. No chance of a review saving Malinga this time, he misses with an ugly heave and Carey does the rest. Zampa gets his man eventually and Australia are on the verge of bowling Sri Lanka out.

  • 17.2

    APPEAL! Adam Zampa to Lasith Malinga. Googly length ball, outside off stump down the track Slog, hit pad to short third man for no runs, appeal made for L.B.W. Up goes the finger, Malinga misses with his swipe and the umpire is convinced. The Sri Lankan skipper takes a punt on a review and it works for him, ball tracking shows that was bouncing too high. Zampa can't believe it.

  • 17.1

    Adam Zampa to Lakshan Sandakan. Googly length ball, off stump on the front foot driving, inside edge to square leg for 1 run, fielded by Richardson.

  • 16.3

    Kane Richardson to Lasith Malinga. Short, outside off stump backing away pulling, top edge to third man for 1 run, fielded by Stanlake.

  • 16.2

    FOUR! Kane Richardson to Lasith Malinga. Length ball, outside off stump backing away driving, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Four more, Malinga isn't typically known for his batting but he's hitting them cleanly tonight.

  • 16.1

    FOUR! Kane Richardson to Lasith Malinga. Back of a length, outside off stump backing away driving, well timed past deep extra cover for 4 runs. This is more like it, the skipper shows his team how it should be done with a meaty wallop.

  • 15.6

    Pat Cummins to Lakshan Sandakan. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, top edge in the air uncontrolled to third man for 2 runs, fielded by Zampa.

  • 15.5

    Pat Cummins to Lakshan Sandakan. Short, outside off stump on the back foot defending, back to bowler for no runs, fielded by Cummins.

  • 15.4

    OUT! Caught. Pat Cummins to Isuru Udana. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep backward square leg, by Richardson. Udana gets cramped for room and can only skew this into the safe hands of Richardson. Excellent bowling, this was clearly a plan with the ideal field setting. Everything is going right for Australia tonight.

  • 15.3

    Pat Cummins to Isuru Udana. Slower ball short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Carey.

  • 15.2

  • 14.5

    Adam Zampa to Lakshan Sandakan. Leg spinner back of a length, off stump on the back foot pushing, back to bowler for no runs, fielded by Zampa.

  • 14.4

    OUT! Stumped. Adam Zampa to Wanindu Hasaranga. Leg spinner length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, missed to wicketkeeper, by Carey. Too easy, Carey has all the time in the world to gather and remove the bails. Zampa knew what the batsman was planning so floated this one out much wider to beat the attempted thrash.

  • 14.3

    Adam Zampa to Isuru Udana. Googly length ball, off stump on the front foot pushing, inside edge to mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Maxwell.

  • 14.2

    Adam Zampa to Isuru Udana. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, inside edge to mid wicket for 2 runs, fielded by Agar.

  • 13.1

    Wide Wanindu Hasaranga to David Warner. Leg spinner length ball, down leg side on the back foot pulling, Play and Miss (Leg Side) to wicketkeeper for 1 run, fielded by Perera.

    Australia have secured a T20I series win over Sri Lanka with another utterly comprehensive victory in Brisbane. While David Warner was the star on Sunday, tonight it was more about the hosts efforts in the field as the bowlers and fielders were exemplary. The tourists never really got going with the bat, struggling against fiery pace and wily spin with a couple of run outs thrown into the mix to make things even worse. Chasing a small total, Steve Smith provided an element of calm after Aaron Finch departed first ball, with the rampant Warner once again in the runs. We'll be back for the conclusion of this series on Friday at the MCG.

  • 12.2

    APPEAL! Lakshan Sandakan to David Warner. Left-Arm Leg Spin back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, back to bowler for no runs, fielded by Sandakan, appeal made for Run Out. Almost a run out at the non-striker's end similar to the one that ended the Sri Lankan innings, but the bowler removes the stump with the wrong hand. Silly.

  • 9.6

    FOUR! Lasith Malinga to Steven Smith. Half volley, to leg on the front foot driving, well timed past long off for 4 runs. Beautifully played, the ball scorches the turf as it zips quickly to the rope. Australia want to get this match finished as quickly as possible.
