SL VS AUS - 3rd ODI, Australia tour of Sri Lanka, 2022

They were helped by the dew which changed things from one innings to the next as both captains admitted there, but take nothing away from Nissanka and Mendis who were quite brilliant to script this memorable win. That's all from us for now. Goodbye!

Shanaka, SL captain: Very good performance by the two youngsters with the bat. It made a difference when we were batting, there was dew, it was coming nicely onto the bat. Didn't expect it during the toss. Batting second made a huge difference in the game. Great chance for this team to pull out the series win against them, last did it in 1992.

Finch, Australia captain: There's quite a bit of dew out there. Wicket seemed to get a bit better. Wasn't stopping. But credit to Sri Lanka. We felt it was the right combination. Saw in the first half, it was very stoppy, thought it would continue to do that. But it played better under lights.

Nissanka is Player of the Match

22:22 Local Time, 16:52 GMT, 22:22 IST: A record chase at the Premadasa from Sri Lanka, and the remarkable thing is the ease with which they've done it. Who saw this coming? At the halfway stage it looked like 291 was a strong total on a pitch that was taking turn. But as it turned out, the biggest obstacle for Sri Lanka was fitness issues for Nissanka and Mendis during their superb partnership of 213 for the second wicket. Mendis hobbled off retired hurt for 87, but Nissanka battled on to complete his first ODI hundred. At no point during the chase did the pair let the rate go out of control. They stayed on top of it the whole way through, dominating the spin options Australia had at their disposal. A packed house at the Premadasa has been treated to a sublime win. We'll have the presentations shortly.
