Once Watson was caught by an alert Dilshan at cover off Chaturanga de Silva, Australia witnessed a mini-collapse. All-rounder Brad Hodge (1) and White fell soon after and joined their skipper in the dressing room. As pacers went for runs, the captain introduced the spinners Chaturanga de Silva and Jeevan Mendis in the middle overs and the duo bowled well in tandem. They picked up wickets at regular intervals and also put a brake on the flow of runs.
Australia once again saw an opportunity in the run chase as Ben Dunk and Callum Ferguson shared a stand of 47 runs off 23 balls but the duo was dismissed in quick succession. The lower-middle order tried keeping the asking rate in check but lost wickets at regular intervals as well. In the 16th over Nuwan Kulasekara picked up two-in-two and dismissed John Hastings and Chad Sayers in consecutive balls.
Eventually, the entire Australian team folded in 18 overs. Kulasekara was also the pick of the wickets for Sri Lanka as he returned with a four-for. Captain Dilshan was named the player of the match for his match-winning ton.

Dilshan scored 107 off 56 deliveries before getting bowled by Brett Lee in the 19th over. The stylish batter hammered 14 fours and four maximums in his entertaining knock. Meanwhile his partner, Munaweera remained unbeaten on 95 off 63 balls. He smashed 10 boundaries and two sixes in his unbeaten knock.
