Australia's team has lost a match before the Champions Trophy, which is difficult to believe. Australia had a target of only 215 runs in the first match against Sri Lanka in Colombo but despite this the team lost the match by 49 runs. Australia was reduced to 33.5 overs. This team scored 165 runs. The script of Australia's defeat was written by Sri Lankan captain Charith Asanka and Mahish Tishta. Actually, Actors scored 127 runs while Tishta took 4 wickets.
Sri Lanka started very poorly on Colombo's difficult pitch. This team lost half of its teams for just 55 runs.
But after this, Captain Asalanka, along with Dunith Vellage, made a half -century partnership and brought the team to 122 runs. Veelalage was dismissed by Matthew Short and then Sri Lanka lost 8 wickets for 135 runs but Asalanka stayed at the crease and they took a wonderful century and took their team beyond 200. The great thing is that he had a half -century partnership with Ehsan Malinga. Malinga, who came out to bat at number 10, scored an unbeaten 1 in 26 balls.The Sri Lankan team somehow scored 214 runs, it seemed that Australia's team would easily win this but it did not happen.
Australia was also overwhelmed to bat on the colombo pitch. This team lost 4 wickets till the 10th over, one wicket was Steve Smith. Smith was dismissed after scoring 12 runs. Short could not open the account. Jack Fraser Magark scored only 2 runs. Cooper Konoli scored only 3 runs. Labushen was also dismissed for just 15 runs. He took his wicket. TITICA also dismissed Shaun Abbott, Spencer Johnson and gave his team victory. The big thing is that Tishta threw 7 wide during his spell, but despite this he became the hero of the team's victory with four wickets.
