Having suffered losses in their initial two games of the tournament, Australia’s win brought life to their campaign. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, endured their third consecutive defeat, with their chances of making it to the semi-finals hanging by a thread.
Australia showcased urgency with the ball and successfully bowled out Sri Lanka for 209 in under 44 overs, with Adam Zampa leading the charge with impressive figures of 4-47. Despite Sri Lanka’s strong start at 157-1 near the halfway mark, their innings faltered, resulting in a below-par total.
Australia faced some challenges during their chase due to strong winds, but Josh Inglis’s 58 and Glenn Maxwell’s 31 ensured their victory with nearly 15 overs to spare.
