Sri Lanka and Australia are involved in a closely-fought five-match ODI series. After the Dasun Shanaka-led Islanders lost the opening two T20Is at home, they were expected to be whitewashed. However, the one-time winners pulled off a miraculous chase in the third and final match, courtesy of the skipper's late blitz, to avoid a 3-0 scoreline and lose the series with some respite.
Sri Lanka pulled off a miraculous run-chase in the third and final T20I against Australia to deny the visitors a 3-0 clean sweep in the three-match series. Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka turned out to be the hero for his side as he played an absolute blinder of a knock to take his side home in a thrilling run-chase at the  Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele on Saturday (June 11). Shanaka went berserk with the bat in the death overs and took the Australian bowlers to the cleaners.
