Similarly, their batting has also made some big strides as they chased down a total of 292 runs in 48.3 overs. In this chase, the Sri Lanka side found a new star in Pathum Nissanka who scored a massive century.
Australia had a strong start to their Sri Lanka tour as they dominated in the T20I series. But they have struggled in the ODI series, as they have suffered two heart-breaking losses. Their batters struggled in the third ODI while their bowlers let them down in the third game. Glenn Maxwell, David Warner and Aaron Finch have been their key players and would look to level the series.
