Preview:
Sri Lanka and Australia will lock horns in the third and final match of the T20I series. Australia are leading the series 2-0 and will be eyeing a whitewash. Their bowlers set up the win in the previous match as they restricted the home side to a modest total of less than 130. In reply, the batters were tested by some quality bowling led by spinner Wanindu Hasaranga who picked up 4 wickets, but Wade ensured that there were no hiccups as he anchored the chase with an unbeaten knock of 26.
