Twitter reactions: Kane Richardson, Matthew Wade star in Australia’s series sealing win over Sri Lanka

Australia beat Sri Lanka in the second T20I

Australia defeated Sri Lanka in the second T20I to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ongoing three-match series at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Wednesday.

Chasing a paltry target of 125, the Aussie batting order was rocked by Wanindu Hasaranga as the leg-spinner picked up four wickets to reduce the visitors to 99/7 in 12 overs.

However, Matthew Wade kept his cool and made sure the tourists finished the proceedings comfortably. The wicketkeeper-batter scored an unbeaten 26 to take Australia home in 17.5 overs with three wickets in hand.

Earlier, a disciplined bowling exhibition by Australians restricted the Islanders to 124/9 in their allotted 20 overs.

The Richardson duo (Kane and Jhye) shared seven wickets to demolish the Sri Lanka batting unit. While Jhye picked up three scalps for 26 in 4 overs, Kane bagged a four-wicket haul while conceding 30 in 4 overs.
