Australia vs Sri Lanka, 2nd T20I at Sydney, AUS v SL, Feb 13 2022 - Match Result
That was an entertaining game. Sri Lanka did an outstanding job to fight back and nearly steal it. Australia go 2-0 up but got a real scare. Can't wait for Canberra on Tuesday night. Join us then for game three. Keep an eye out for Andrew Fidel Fernando's report. On behalf of Madushka, Thilak and the entire team, thanks for your company tonight. See you Tuesday.Josh Hazlewood: "I just kept a nice clear mind. Had a chat with Finchy and came up with a plan of what I wanted to do. The confidence is high at the moment and nice to execute."Dasun Shanaka: "At the start we bowled well but I think we gave away 10 runs extra in the first innings. In the second phase we lost too many wickets early on. The boys showed the character. These youngsters take the fight on. I'm really impressed by the performance. Nissanka is a world class player."Aaron Finch: "It was great to get the win. Pretty sloppy overall though. I think we got away with one there. I was pretty confident in Josh Hazlewood. It was a sloppy performance in the field. We bowled some great overs, we bowled some poor overs."
11.15pm Amazing game of cricket. Australia win a thrilling super over thanks to Josh Hazlewood with the ball. But it was an incredible effort from Sri Lanka. They needed 46 off 18 balls in the second innings and got 45. Chameera's strike off the final ball was just metres from a six to win it. They also were on the wrong end of a wide call on the second last ball. But in the super over Hazlewood was too good conceding just 5 runs. Stoinis and Maxwell knocked them off in three balls.
