Australia dominate Sri Lanka –

An incredible four-wicket haul from Travis Head helped Australia claim a thumping 10-wicket victory in Galle and go 1-0 up in the series. Australia’s spin contingent bowled the visitors to the verge of consecutive Test series wins abroad.

Without a wicket going into the match, Travis Head ended up with four in 17 balls and was applauded off the field by his teammates after they routed Sri Lanka for 113 in just 22.5 overs.
