SL vs AUS Live: World champions make light work of 129 chase, Openers Finch, Warner slam 50s as Australia canter to 10-wicket win – Watch Highlights

 Chasing 129 to win, David Warner and Aaron Finch made light work of the chase, taking the attack to the Sri Lankan bowlers in a fine batting performance. After an initial slow start, both Finch and Warner changed gears taking the attack to Dushmantha Chameera and Wanindu Hasaranga, two of Sri Lanka’s best bowlers.

Warner soon got to his fifty as Finch played the waiting as the hosts looked out of options to contain the flow of runs. The rain stoppages did not deter the Aussie openers, but only spurred them on, with Finch accelerating towards the end to reach his half-century. The Australian captain ended the game in style with a six, to guide Australia home with six overs to spare.

Earlier, Josh Hazlewood took a four wicket haul while Mitchell Starc picked up three as Sri Lanka slumped to 128 all out after being put into bat first. The hosts put on 50 in the first six overs, before Australia tightened the screws, with wickets falling in clusters.

Hazlewood was particularly impressive as he finished with figures of 4/16, triggering a collapse that saw Sri Lanka slip from 99/1 to 118/7.
