Are Australia Out of T20 World Cup After Loss to Sri Lanka? Super 8 Scenarios for All Teams Explained
Pathum Nissanka scored the first century of the tournament as Sri Lanka won by eight wickets to qualify for the Super 8s with a perfect 3-0 record.
- On Tuesday morning in Pallekele, Sri Lanka national team beat Australia national team by eight wickets, with Pathum Nissanka scoring a 52-ball unbeaten century to steer the chase.
- Mid-Innings, Sri Lanka's spinner changed the game, causing Australia to slump from 0-104 to 4-130 with Marsh lbw on review for 54.
- Sent in to bat, Australia's openers provided a fast start but the last five wickets fell for seven runs in 12 balls, with only Glenn Maxwell and Josh Inglis reaching double figures.
- Sri Lanka's win guarantees Super 8 qualification, while Australia can only reach four points and must beat Oman on February 20 to stay alive.
