†AUSTRALIA v SRI LANKA 1984-85

At Sydney, January 8 (day/night). Australia won by six wickets after a hard struggle in which the fifteen no-balls and wides bowled by Sri Lanka's medium-pacers were crucial. Playing their first day-night match, the Sri Lankans chose to bat first and used the afternoon to compile a very useful total. However, Wood was in dashing form for Australia, and when he retired with cramp Border guided his side to victory.

Man of the Match: A. R. Border. Attendance: 26,000 (estimated).
