Kusal Mendis once again showed some poor batting
performances and who ran out for only 1 run. Danushaka Gunathilake tried hard
to hit bit shots. But he also out for 21 runs. Avishka Fernando who was
replaced for Bhanuka Rajapaksha scored 17 runs. Kusal Perera was started well
and scored a quick 27. But he also panicked against Australian Spinners. Both
Dasun Shanaka and Niroshan Dickwella had no answers against bowlers. Finally, Sri Lankan lower-order batsmen took to the 118. This score is not enough for
powerful Australian batting line up.
Sri Lankan bowlers had to deliver some magical deliveries to
win the match. But bowlers struggled against Smith and Warner. Both
batsmen were scored half-centuries and won the match very easily. The inexperience
showed by all the young Sri Lankan players and they need to rethink who are
the best batsman against Australian fast bowlers.
Sri Lanka should recall Angelo Mathews once again with
Thisara Perera. Dasun Shanaka should replace by Thisara and Wanidu Hasarnga
will replace by Dhananjaya de Silva in the t20 world cup. I hope Sri Lanka will
play better in the final t20 match at Melbourne on Friday.
