Pathum Nissanka played a knock of 73 runs from 53 balls and the scores were tied. Australia won the game in the super over. Sri Lanka have been fined 20 percent of their match fees for maintaining a slow over-rate in the fixture. Batsman Pathum Nissanka was also reprimanded for using ‘audible obscenity’ as he was seen reacting using inappropriate language after missing a ball while batting.
