Sri Lanka edged Australia by four runs in the fourth ODI to seal an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series in Colombo on Tuesday.
Sri Lanka's triumph marked its first ODI series win over Australia since 2010, when it beat the Aussies 2-1 Down Under.
Batting first, the Dasun Shanaka-led side rode on Charith Asalanka's maiden ODI century (110) to post 258 on the board. In reply, Australia lost skipper Aaron Finch for a duck before fellow opener David Warner led the chase with a half-century.
However, Warner was stumped on 99 off Dhananjaya de Silva's bowling in a decisive moment in the chase. With minimal contributions coming from the middle-order, Australia was eventually restricted to 254 after Pat Cummins (35) was trapped lbw in the penultimate over.
The win also marked Sri Lanka's first home ODI bilateral series win over the Aussies since 1992.

Cause for celebration and a temporary relief from the calamity the country is undergoing now. Could this happen if Namal is still the sports minister? Definitely not. Thank you boys, we salute you!

Congratulations team SriLanka! A great win, yet, so humble, and that must mark us Lankans everywhere! A great lesson to the majority of so-called political representatives of this great and humble people! As the motto of a leading school says, ‘learn, or depart.’ ‘…, go home,’ has been the clarion call…may we see it coming true in the days to come, and with it all political chicanery, just like our cricketers have shown through sheer perseverance and belief in the whole being greater than its parts… Well done!

starving public has no strength in their bodies to celebrate the win.

Dhananjaya should have got the man of the match or at least should have been shared with Asalanka. Shanaka is the luckiest guy, winning matches on other’s shoulders.

Well done. I think part of the thanks should goes to the former Coach - Arthur too.

when Rajapaksas' are out from sports there are things happening. Same should be with the country.

Congratulations boys.!! We Sri Lankans are remarkable when cornered to situations. Hopefully this will pop up the Sri Lankan population's spirit during these suffering times due to lack of Petrol, Diesel and electricity.
