Video: Ugly scenes after SL win T20I series
Sri Lanka's tour of Australia finished in ugly scenes as players clashed on the field and had to be physically separated following Sri Lanka's two-run win in the second Twenty20 clash at the MCG.The defeat means Australia lost the series two-nil and remains seventh on the world rankings.
Australia resumed with a revised target of 122 from 15 overs and finished on 3-119.
Skipper George Bailey hit 45 and Shaun Marsh was unbeaten on 47, while Glenn Maxwell hit his first two deliveries for four and needed another boundary from the final delivery to clinch victory.
However, Maxwell (eight not out) missed the final ball and ran a bye as Australia finished three shy of victory.
Before the final ball, Sri Lanka's fielders had gathered around the bowler Thisara Perera to offer advice and an angry Maxwell yelled at the tourists to get on with it.
This prompted Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene to yell back at Maxwell and the pair clashed immediately after the final over in a nose-to-nose argument while Perera taunted Maxwell.
Several Australia players also argued with Jayawardene during the on-field handshakes in front of 39,247 fans. (Source: The Australian)
