David Warner scored his century
Highlight
- Sri Lanka lead 2-1 in the 5-match ODI series
- Test series to be held after ODI series
Australia’s ODI series in Sri Lanka is coming out like a horror story at the moment. The Aussies are struggling against Sri Lanka which has done a good job in stopping them so far. In the five-match ODI series, Australia are down 2-1, and at the moment it looks like they are nowhere close to securing a series win.
Sri Lanka set a target of 259 runs for the Australian team and in the process they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. The wicket, which was finding it difficult to bat, saw Warner’s masterclass as he scored 99 runs off 112 balls at one end. With Head and Maxwell falling for 2 for two, Warner decided to attack Sri Lanka in a game of do or die and that was when a ball was struck. Dhananjay De Silva Foxed it and he is stumped by wicketkeeper Dickwella.
As Warner went back to 99, here’s how Twitter reacted:
