CRR: 5.09. Batting, R(B), 4s, 6s, SR. Josh Hazlewood*, 4(3), 1, 0, 133.33. Bowling, O, M, R, W. Dushmantha Chameera*, 6.1, 0, 19, 2.

Wellalage runs in, sides, and judges the dip to perfection to keep his hands under. I came back after two and a half years and that is why my celebration is for the universe. We can't do much about the injuries, but lucky that the A team is in Hambantota and we could have a replacement. We didn't take the right options with the bat and we need to come up with the right options in the next game. 35.6 Chameera to Cummins, out Caught by Wellalage!! Bouncer, angling in at pace, kicking up big time off the pitch, and hurrying Cummins up. It wasn't the easiest of pitches, but given how the Aussies seemed to be cruising at one point in their chase, choking them here is some achievement. The spinners put the brakes in the middle overs, before the quicks came in, bowled their hearts out, and blew away the tail. Chasing in these conditions where the wicket is slow and spinning is something we need to keep improving on. It was a packed house and I want to thank Kandy. Even on the field the attitude and the concentration is top class. But when we went onto the field, I had a feeling and the trust that our bowlers would defend. It's no secret that Sri Lanka as a country is in the middle of some testing times.

Chasing a revised target of 216 in 44 overs, Australia were bowled out for 189 with more than five overs remaining to level the series at 1-1.

Glad my hundred per cent was there today when we had to square the series," Karunaratne said. We need to keep improving and that's one area we can be better and today showed it as well.
