Preview
Australia and Sri Lanka will meet each other in the third T20I of the ongoing series. Australia has won the first two games and would be looking to seal the series in this game. In the first T20I, the Sri Lankan batters struggled against the world champions. They could make only 122 runs while chasing a target of 143 runs. Only two Sri Lankan batters were able to score more than 20 runs.
In the second T20I, the Sri Lankan bowlers leaked runs and Australia managed to reach 164 runs for the loss of six wickets in 20 overs. Sri Lanka lost three wickets inside the powerplay overs and it looked like the same script from the first match would repeat. But, the team managed to crawl towards the target and the match ended in a tie. Australia won the Super Over after Sri Lanka could make only five runs in six balls.
