Summary Australia beat Sri Lanka by 32 runs and shared the five-match limited-overs series 2-2.

 

HOBART:- Moises Henriques and Xavier Doherty took three wickets each to capitalize on Phil Hughes  unbeaten century Wednesday as Australia beat Sri Lanka by 32 runs and share the five-match limited-overs series 2-2.

 

Despite an aggressive 38 off 39 balls by Mahela Jayawardene and a defiant 67 from Angelo Mathews, Sri Lanka could manage just 215 in its chase of Australia s 247 and just a second series win on Australian soil.


Spinner Doherty (3-21) sparked something of a top-order collapse with the dismissal of Jayawardene in the seventh over, while allrounder Henriques (3-32) closed down the tailend.


Hughes earlier smashed an unbeaten 138 after Sri Lanka won the toss and sent Australia in to bat.
