Australia win by nine wickets and take the series 2-0. There first series win in Sri Lanka since 2011. An outstanding performance from the visitors. They have outplayed Sri Lanka in every department from first ball to last. Clinical. For a moment yesterday there was a thought that Australia could be a set a tricky target but that wasn't to be the case. A lot to ponder for Sri Lanka as they head into the next WTC cycle. For Australia, it's plenty of boxes ticked. There next Test series in Asia is against India in 2027 and they will take a lot from this. Matt Kuhnemann has been outstanding.
Damien: "Winning a test series in SENA countries is special but winning a test series in Asian countries is super special!!"
