Srilanka Wins Aussies Today's Final Match By 8 Wicktes Pictures

Sri Lanka blazed to an emphatic eight-wicket victory over Australia at the Adelaide Oval Tuesday to take the tri one-day international series to a decider. The World Cup finalists easily ran down Australia's 271 for six to post 274 for two with 34 balls to spare.

Man-of-the-match Tillakaratne Dilshan smashed 106 off 119 balls and skipper Mahela Jayawardene hit 80 off 76 balls to give Sri Lanka a flying start.


Australia have injury concerns ahead of the third final with skipper Michael Clarke troubled by back and hamstring trouble. Clarke limped through the latter stages of his resolute innings of 117 from 91 balls and fielded until the 38th over of the Sri Lankan run chase before leaving the ground for treatment. He has a history of back-related hamstring injuries and only returned to the tri-series from a right hamstring strain last Sunday.
