  • Player of the Match
    Kane Richardson
    3/21(4)
Right then! That is all we have from this match and Australia have taken an unassailable 3-0 lead in the 5-match T20I series. There are still two matches left and the next match is on Friday, the 18th of February. The first ball will be bowled at 1.40 pm IST (8.10 am GMT) but the build-up will begin much sooner. Do join us then. Take care and goodbye!
Kane Richardson is the MAN OF THE MATCH for his brilliant spell with the ball. He says that he wasn't at his best in the second T20I but is happy about his performance in this match. Tells that he tried to execute his lengths better and Josh Hazlewood showed them what to do from the last match. Says that it is quite competitive to get into this side. Adds that he is just happy to be around this group.
The Aussie skipper, Aaron Finch says that they are trying to shuffle guys around in order to know the depth of the squad. He adds that the guys that came in tonight did pretty well too. About Agar being sent out to open the innings, he says that they just looked to tinker with the side a bit and were trying out new combinations. Adds that Ben was unlucky tonight and applauds Theekshana for his efforts with the new ball. Finch then says that the wicket was a bit patchy and on being asked about Sams and Richardson he says that Sams was excellent in the field and is a fantastic bowler as well. He says that Kane was out of the national team for quite a bit and tonight was a statement performance for him.
Dasun Shanaka, the Lankan skipper says that there are no positives to take from this match and it was a poor effort from the boys. Mentions that they were 20-30 runs short. On asked about areas for improvement, he says that they should bat well in the Powerplay and should not throw wickets away.
Presentation ceremony....
Right then! Australia have sealed the series as was expected of them and they have done so in fine fashion as well. They now make it seven wins in a row in the shortest format of the game. A run that started during the T20 World Cup. With an unassailable lead, the Aussies will now relax and make more changes to the side but will remain competitive as they always are. With that said, stay tuned for the presentation.
No matter how well Sri Lanka bowled tonight, chances were they would come out second best in the contest and that is what happened. Their batters had already let them down and the bowlers' efforts need to be applauded as they took it as deep as possible. With no Hasaranga in the side, Maheesh Theekshana took on the responsibility of the senior spinner and his carrom balls troubled the Aussies. He picked up three wickets in total and was clinical. Apart from him, no other bowler really troubled the hosts and the best they could do was to stem the flow of runs a bit. Sri Lanka lose the series but will now look to end the series on a positive note by trying to win the last couple of matches.
Well, all of us expected a stroll and a stroll it was. Well, sort of. Australia did win the match and sealed the series with ease but it did come with a couple of hiccups early on in the innings. Ben McDermott was dismissed on the very first delivery of the chase and Ashton Agar, who was surprisingly sent out to open the innings too fell early on. Glenn Maxwell then came in and was aggressive. He did tease the Lankan fielders with a few half-chances but struck the ball cleanly and his 50-run stand with the skipper, Aaron Finch took the sting out of the chase. Maxwell fell but Finch and even Inglis were busy in the middle. Finch fell with 20 runs required and Stoinis finished things off with a couple of boundaries.

OUT! TAKEN! Maheesh Theekshana has done the trick yet again and is there a twist in this tale? Flighted delivery, on off. Glenn Maxwell gets a bit low and looks to whip it over the mid-wicket fence. It is a long boundary out there and Maxwell doesn't get a decent connection on it. The ball flies towards the man on the mid-wicket fence and Kusal Mendis takes a good low catch in front of him. Maxwell runs out of luck and Sri Lanka might still have a chance here.

SIX AND OUT! Brilliant review for Sri Lanka and they are alive and kicking! Maheesh Theekshana comes from 'round the wicket and slides one into the pads. Ashton Agar looks to heave it leg side but misses and gets rapped on the pads. The visitors appeal confidently but on first glance it seems to be sliding down leg. They do go upstairs and there's no spike on UltraEdge. The replay shows that it was yet another carrom ball which means the ball straightened after pitching. Ball Tracker comes up with three reds and Ashton Agar has to depart. What a spell from Maheesh Theekshana! Glenn Maxwell walks out to bat.

Chamika Karunaratne To Ashton Agar
Big swing and a miss! A length ball, angled across the off pole yet again. Ashton Agar hangs deep in his crease, doesn't move his feet and just looks to hit through the line of the ball. He doesn't make a connection though.

Maheesh Theekshana To Ben McDermott OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! What a start! Sri Lanka could not have asked for a better start than this. Maheesh Theekshana starts off with a carrom ball, around off. The ball turns back in off the surface and Ben McDermott is caught on the crease. McDermott tries to push at it with hard hands and ends up getting an outside edge. Charith Asalanka takes a really sharp catch at first slip and Maheesh Theekshana is pumped up.
