SL vs AUS Live Cricket Score

9.2 OUT! TAKEN! That is a blinder of a catch! Matthew Kuhnemann, take a bow. What a dream start he has had to his debut. A wicket and now a stunning catch. Cummins bowls it shorter and on middle, slower. Danushka Gunathilaka pulls it hard but uppishly to the left of deep square leg. Matthew Kuhnemann dives to his left after moving to that direction and takes it brilliantly. Danushka Gunathilaka can consider himself a little unlucky as he had really hit that well. He again falls after getting his eye in. Australia on top now. 35/2

5.5 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! There is the first wicket for Matthew Kuhnemann in ODIs and it is an important one, the in-form man, Pathum Nissanka! Really nicely bowled! Slows it up, lands it around off, gets it to turn away. Pathum Nissanka looks to drive but it takes the outside edge and Carey does the rest. An appeal and the finger is raised. Pathum Nissanka is not sure if he has edged it or not, he has a chat to his partner but the time runs out. Good wicket for the Aussies as the openers had begun well. 26/1

23.3 OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Another set-batter goes now! Maxwell serves a length ball, around middle and leg. It is there to be swept but Kusal Mendis is a touch late to his shot and the ball takes the cue end of the bat and lobs back to Maxwell who takes a simple catch. Maxwell is smiling while Kusal Mendis watches the cue end of the bat as he takes a long walk back. 108/4

20.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Excellent catch by Alex Carey and the stand is broken here by Cummins. Cummins serves it short and outside off, off-pace as well. This one lands and nips back in. De Silva pre-meditates as he opens the face of the bat and tries to ramp it away but gets an outside edge and the keeper, Alex Carey takes a sharp catch as he stretches his right-arm and leaps to take it. 96/3

28.5 OUT! TAKEN Just when a partnership was building, Australia find a way to break it! Maxwell with his second here! This is tossed up, full and angling outside off. Charith Asalanka gets on his knee as he tries to slog-sweep it but fails to execute well. He hits it straight to deep mid-wicket where Matthew Kuhnemann takes it. The debutant has been busy on his maiden outing. 130/5

37.1 OUT! TAKEN! Now Shanaka gives it away! Swepson gets his first! And probably, Lanka's last hope of getting to that 240-run mark is walking back. All that pressure which was being built by dotting Dunith Wellalage has probably got to him. Swepson tosses it up nicely, it is the leg spinner outside off. Dasun Shanaka looks to heave it over long on but this one turns away, it goes off the outer half towards point. It is taken by Maxwell. 172/7

33.3 OUT! TAKEN! Chamika Karunaratne holes out! Not sure, just not sure about the shot. It was surely not the call of the hour. Chamika Karunaratne has given it away. A stand which was going along so nicely has been cut short. Yes, he was looking to attack but the shot selection was wrong here. He steps out, fails to get to the pitch of it, still goes ahead and tries to clear long on. The ball lands and turns a little. It goes more off the outer half towards long off. Cummins takes it easily. Lanka slip further. 240 now looks far away. 159/6

43.3 OUT! CHOPPED ON! Wellalage goes now after playing a small cameo! Short ball from Cummins, around off with extra bounce and pace. Dunith Wellalage gets on his toes to defend but gets a bottom edge and it nips the off pole and removes the bails. Pat Cummins has been really good with the ball today. 199/9

41.3 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Cummins gets his third wicket! Brilliant from him as he keeps on changing his pace! This is at 136 kph, full and outside off. Jeffrey Vandersay looks to drive but gets an outside edge and Alex Carey pouches it comfortably. 198/8

13.3 OUT! TIMBER! Warner goes now! Sri Lanka finding a way into the game! This is on a length and drifting around leg. Warner rocks on the back foot and tries to cut but gets cramped for room and is bit late as well to his shot. He misses and the ball hits the leg pole. Warner has given his team a good start but Sri Lanka will look for a couple of more wickets quickly. 154 needed now. 62/2

7.2 OUT! THREE REDS AND LANKA HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH! The move to get Dhananjaya de Silva on works! This is tossed up, it lands around middle and leg. Finch swings across the line but the ball comes slow off the surface. He misses and is hit on the pad. An appeal and the finger is raised. Warner asks Finch to review and he does. Ultra Edge shows no bat. Ball Tracker shows three reds. Much-needed wicket for the hosts. Can they get another quickly now? 177 more needed. . 39/1

20 OUT! TAKEN! Steven Smith falls to the trap and he is very disappointed with it. A slower bumper, angling on leg. Smith hangs on the back foot as he plays the pull shot but hits it straight to Maheesh Theekshana at short fine leg, as he gets low and takes it well. Another timely wicket for Sri Lanka. They are not letting the game go away easily. 123 needed more. 93/3

26.2 OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust! Wellalage breaks the stand! Tossed up, full and around off. Head tries to slog-sweep it but gets only a good amount of height on it. He fails to get the distance as he tries to clear the longer side of the ground and Charith Asalanka takes it low at deep mid-wicket. 93 runs needed now. 123/4

28.2 OUT! CAUGHT! A big moment in the match as Labuschagne holes one out! He was looking good but fails to continue. Floated, fuller and just outside off. Marnus Labuschagne tries to go inside-out over covers but fails to get the elevation and Dasun Shanaka at covers shows quick reflexes to take it. 84 needed in 88 balls. The game is well and truly on now. One more wicket and Sri Lanka are into the bowlers. 132/5

35 OUT! RUN OUT! CAREY IS SHORT! Another massive moment in the game as the last recognized batter is out of here. This was not needed, this run was just not needed. This is on middle, it is worked towards mid-wicket. They take one. Carey wants a second and goes for it. Brilliant from Chamika Karunaratne as he runs towards the ball, picks it up and throws it to the keeper who whips the bails off. It is referred, replays show that the batter is short. Sri Lanka on top. Well and truly on top. They are into the bowlers now. 177/7

34.2 OUT! TAKEN! That is the huge wicket, huge, huge, wicket. All this while, we here were wondering why is Chamika Karunaratne bowling at the moment! This is why he was given the ball! The crowd here erupts as they know Sri Lanka now have a really strong chance in this game. It is short and outside off, at a good pace. Maxwell looks to drag the pull, he is hurried into it, it goes off the splice towards point. Both point and cover go for it, in the end, it is Shanaka who takes it from covers. Almost a collision but the skipper hangs on. Game on. 170/6

36 OUT! TAKEN! A really unnecessary shot from Pat Cummins but what about the catch there! Serves it short and on off. Cummins was looking in two minds, to evade or to pull, he goes with the latter but it goes off the top edge and to deep square leg where Dunith Wellalage runs forward, dives and plucks it in front of him. Exceptional catch from him and Australia are losing their way here. 181/8

36.3 OUT! TIMBER! Number 9 down! Sri Lanka can sniff victory now! Length and outside off, Mitchell Swepson goes after it away from the body, he gets an inside edge and it shatters into the stumps. 185/9

37.1 OUT! KNOCKED OVER! What a win for Sri Lanka! Pallekele goes bonkers as they celebrate the victory. Chameera serves a length ball, tailing on leg, with good pace. Matthew Kuhnemann steps forward to defend but the angle was going against him and the ball hits the stumps. Sri Lanka win by 26 runs. 189/10
