Sri Lanka set total of 227 for Australia in 3rd one day
Opener Dilshan announced on Thursday he was retiring from one-day international cricket.
DAMBULLA (AFP) - Sri Lankan skipper Angelo Mathews won the toss and elected to bat first against Australia in the third one-day international in Dambulla on Sunday.
Sri Lanka were able to make 226 runs and were bowled out with four balls to spare in the innings. Chandimal was the top-scorer for Sri Lanka with his knock of 102 runs whereas other batsmen in the Lankan batting line failed to fire.
Adam Zampa bagged three wickets for the Aussies whereas Starc, Faulkner and Hastings picked two wickets each.
The hosts, looking to give retiring batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan a winning farewell, are unchanged from Wednesday’s victory in Colombo that saw them draw level with Australia in the five-match series.
Australia are resting regular skipper Steve Smith for the remainder of the series and are led by David Warner. They have made several changes to their lineup.
Top-order batsman Shaun Marsh comes in for Smith, all-rounder John Hastings replaces Moises Henriques and medium-pacer Josh Hazlewood is back for Nathan Lyon.
Opener Dilshan announced on Thursday he was retiring from one-day international cricket after the Dambulla match.
