After already clinching the series, Australia will be taking on Sri Lanka in the fourth T20I of the ongoing series. Australia won the first three matches and earned an unassailable 3-0 lead.
The host side had restricted Sri Lankans for a score of 121 runs in their third game and later went on to win by six wickets. Kane Richardson had picked three wickets for just 21 runs in four overs and won the player of the match award.
Talking about the Aussie batters, Aaron Finch who batted at number three position scored 35 runs off 36 deliveries. All-rounder Glenn Maxwell was the highest scorer for Australia as he made 39 runs off 26 balls.
As far as Sri Lanka is concerned, the batters have struggled against the Australian bowling attack through the series. They had scored 164 runs in the second T20I but that was also not a collective effort. Only four batters managed to go beyond the double-digit score.
In fact, they faced a major blow as Wanindu Hasaranga tested positive for Covid-19 just before the third game.
