Sri Lanka 12-1 (2 ovs) vs Aus 181 all out Scorecard

Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Perera to open for Sri Lanka. 

Xavier Bartlett with the ball for Australia. 

Nissanka is on strike and after a dot he punches one to deep backward point to get off the mark. 

Kusal Perera then opens his account with a single through backward point. 

Six! Terrific shot from Nissanka as he picks the length delivery straying down the leg side and sends it over square leg for a maximum. 

Two dots to end the over. Eight runs came off it. 


Marcus Stoinis to bowl from the other end and Perera cuts one firmly through point but Inglis makes a good save.

Out! Perera perishes, caught by Nathan Ellis. Short of a length delivery and Perera charges down and chases a wide delivery but slices it to deep point fielder. He goes for 1 off three balls. 

Kusal Mendis comes to the crease and gets off the mark with a single through square of the wicket. 

A single through backward point follows. Mendis then laps one to fine leg for a couple. Four runs came off the over.
