Sri Lanka vs Australia 2nd T20I Highlights: Sri Lankan batters failed to fire for the second consecutive T20 match against Australia and managed 124-9 in Colombo after the visitors won the toss and chose to field Wednesday. The reigning T20 champions chased down the target with three wickets to spare to seal the three match T20 series. In the first T20I, Australia thrashed Dasun Shanaka-led team for a 10-wicket victory in the first T20 match on Tuesday. Australia’s maverick all-rounder Glenn Maxwell opened the bowling with his off-spin and took 2-18 in his three overs to lead a tight bowling performance. Maxwell was very well supported by pacers Jhye Richardson, who finished with 3-26 in his four overs, and Kane Richardson, who took four wickets and only gave away 30 runs in his spell. Aaron Finch’s side kept the hosts under pressure throughout their innings with probing lines, sharp fielding and timely wickets..
