Match Ended   
164/6 (20.0/20) & 9/0 (0.3/1) SO
164/8 (20.0/20) & 5/1 (1.0/1) SO
Australia tied with Sri Lanka (Australia win Super Over by 2 wickets)
We are ready! Six balls for each team to win the match! Dasun Shanaka and Dinesh Chandimal have come out to bat for Sri Lanka. Josh Hazlewood has the ball in hand.
Right then. In the Super Over, the team that batted second will bat first which means that Lankans will have to set a target. The big question is which two batters will be sent out? Pathum Nissanka certainly seems the likely choice and also the skipper will probably come out. Also, Josh Hazlewood can be seen warming up with the ball which means that he will bowl for Australia.
My word! What an unreal game of cricket have we just witnessed! And the best part is that it is not over yet. That final blow from Dushmantha Chameera has levelled the scores and a Super Over will now follow. Sri Lanka have done the unthinkable here and who knows, they might just snatch victory here.

Marcus Stoinis To Dushmantha Chameera
FOUR! Yes, we are indeed! Super over it is! Marcus Stoinis bowls a poor delivery, a full toss, outside off. Dushmantha Chameera walks down the pitch and smacks it over the bowler's head for a boundary. The match is tied and it will be decided via a Super Over now. Well, well, well. Just imagine, had the previous ball been called a wide, this match would have been dusted and we would be going to Canberra 1-1.

Marcus Stoinis To Maheesh Theekshana
Touch fuller, outside off, on the tramline. Maheesh Theekshana reaches out for it and has a slash but misses. The batters take a bye. Matthew Wade throws the ball to Marcus Stoinis and he has a shy at his end but misses. Had that hit, it would have been curtains for Maheesh Theekshana. 5 needed from the last ball. Are we in for a Super Over? Also, on the replay it looks to be beyond the tramline. Have the Lankans been dealt a blow here with that ball not being called a wide?

Marcus Stoinis To Maheesh Theekshana
SIX! BOOOMMM! The match is still not over! Stay where you are! Unreal attempt from Steven Smith though in the deep! He almost saved six runs for his side. Length ball, on middle. Maheesh Theekshana smacks it to deep mid-wicket. Steven Smith leaps and flicks the ball in. He injuries himself trying to do so. He touched the ropes on it's way back so the umpire rules it as a maximum after getting the confirmation. But credit to Steven Smith for pulling off such an effort. He walks off the field as he gets attended by the physios.
Oh my God! What happened here? Steven Smith seems to have injured himself badly while performing a miracle save. The ball was destined to clear the ropes but Smith flew like Superman and managed to claw it back in but the landing was rough and he hit his head right in the turf. The umpires though check the replay and a six has been given as Smith's body was already over the ropes when he tried to claw the ball back in.
Maheesh Theekshana is in at number 10.

Marcus Stoinis To Pathum Nissanka OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Is that the knockout blow? A full toss, on middle. Pathum Nissanka smashes it to deep square leg. Pat Cummins dives forward and takes a good low catch. Australia will be a little relieved now. This could have been a no ball as well but it dipped enough and Pathum Nissanka will have to depart. A fine knock comes to an end. Sri Lanka would be very proud of him no matter what the outcomes of this match comes. 12 needed from 3 balls. The umpires also tells Maheesh Theekshana the new man in that the batters did cross but not before the catch was taken, so he will be on strike.

Marcus Stoinis To Pathum Nissanka
Very full and outside off, Pathum Nissanka squeezes it out to long off. Two taken comfortably. Dushmantha Chameera was ready to sacrifice but the throw came at the striker's end.

Marcus Stoinis To Pathum Nissanka

Dushmantha Chameera is the new man in. Marcus Stoinis (2-0-13-0) has been thrown the ball to bowl the final over. Can he defend 18 runs?

Adam Zampa To Pathum Nissanka OUT!
OUT! RUN OUT! Extraordinary fielding from Australia and just like that, Australia are back on top. Dasun Shanaka was taking on te charge but has to walk back to the pavilion now. Adam Zampa bowls a loopy ball, on middle. Pathum Nissanka bunts it to wide of deep mid-wicket. He pushes hard for the second run. Steven Smith quickly collects the ball and throws t in one motion to the bowler's end. Hits the bullseye and Dasun Shanaka is caught short. 50 needed from 24 balls.
Is that a Run-Out? Has Steven Smith pulled off something special here? The batters push hard for two and Smith with a bullet throw from the deep, shatters the stumps at the bowler's end. Dasun Shanaka looks to be in trouble and the decision is sent upstairs. The replays roll in and we can see that even the desperate dive couldn't save Shanaka. It is OUT on the big screen and the answer to the previous question is 'Yes, he can!'

It's the big in-dipper this time. Starts on off and ends down the leg side. Dinesh Chandimal looks to flick but the ball comes off the pads and Matthew Wade makes a good take down to his left. The hosts appeal for caught behind but the umpire isn't interested.

Pat Cummins To Charith Asalanka OUT!
OUT! CHOPPED ON! 'Deja vu' for the hosts as the top order crumbles yet again. Pat Cummins bowls it around the top of off and it's just the perfect length. Charith Asalanka hangs deep and just tries to run the ball to third man but it is too close to the body. In the end, Asalanka only manages to get a faint inside edge on it and the ball goes on to dislodge the bails. Australia on top of proceedings here.

Josh Hazlewood To Avishka Fernando OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Josh Hazlewood picks up his second wicket and Avishka Fernando has to depart early. Length again, this is pushed a bit wider. Fernando looks to drive on the up and does so a fair bit away from the body. His feet don't move and hence, Fernando can't quite get to the pitch of the ball. He ends up hitting it uppishly and Josh Inglis at short cover springs to his left and takes a good catch.

Josh Hazlewood To Danushka Gunathilaka OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! Soft dismissal and Danushka Gunathilaka is out for a golden duck! Short of a good length, around off and angling away. Gunathilaka hangs back and looks to cut it away. The ball is a bit too close to the body and Gunathilaka ends up hitting it straight to Ben McDermott at the cover region. McDermott takes a sharp catch and Josh Hazlewood provides Australia with a dream start.
