Skipper Angelo Mathews today led from the front with his allround showing to help Sri Lanka register a comprehensive 82-run win against Australia in the second one-day international to level the series at 1-1 in Colombo.

Australia, who were chasing a record 289 for victory at R Premadasa Stadium, were bowled out for 206 in 47.2 overs.

selectors please think seriously on Dilshan T M positionwhy cant you drop him and replace with young talent. He might score in last match and retain his position. If it any other country he would be sent home by this time.
