Sri Lanka v Australia, second Twenty20 Pallekele
Sri Lanka 157 for 9 (Jayawardene 86, Hastings 3.14, Lee 3-39) beat Australia by 9149 (Watson 57, Mendis 6-16) by eight points
Ajantha Mendis made a difference beyond the scope of the six batters Australian and Sri Lanka's victory completed a sweep of eight races of the series 2-0 in Pallekele Twenty20.
Playing his first, but certainly not the last match against the Australians on this tour, Mendis took 6 to 16, the best figures T20 history, including three of the four wickets to fall four times in a frenzied 16-ball stage in the middle overs. All this after warring Shane Watson 57 from 24 balls seemed to have put the visitors in a series leveling victory.
The decisive moment of the evening came with the remarkable feat of athleticism Angelo Mathews where he received a David Warner pulling the edge of the midwicket boundary, then threw the ball into play for Mahela Jayawardene to complete the catch.
Watson was close on the IPN for the first time during the chase, the arbitrator's decision Nuwan Kulasekara extravagant Inswing have taken the ball past his leg stump. After three overs of pace, Australia have been well led 30-0, but the momentum would increase strongly against the spinners.
Dilruwan Perera first ball was reverse punch coverage increased from Warner before Watson began to target the arc between midwicket and along much the same way he had done at an efficiency record against Bangladesh in Dhaka in April. Five times, he crossed the ropes, and when the introduction Mendis' brought a skier and a door that Australia needed a decidedly manageable 87 from 85 balls. Watson had not done enough to put the result is clear.
Sri Lankans felt something when Warner followed, excellent bag at the edge of Mathews, who then threw the ball - in a split second, he had, before going on the rope - a warning against Jayawardene. Shaun Marsh again looked at all possibilities against spin and was mistaken for a duck walking down the wicket to Mendis, who completed a double wicket maiden.
Next David Hussey played around Rangana Herath to be adopted, so that visitors, despite serious difficulties manageable rate required. Cameron White and Steven Smith tried to keep my head spinning, but was initially unable to do more than slow bowlers to stick around the light of the occasional extravagant trip.
A pair of six White seemed to push the sleeves back in a state of health, but to order Mendis returned to bowl a dance and a fumble Smith Brad Haddin off successive balls. Mitchell Johnson averted the hat-trick, but the sixth victim was finally Mendis. White reached the final of the 15 needed for victory, to be passed from one side of Thisara Perera and the task proved beyond the last pair in Australia.
Earlier, Sri Lanka, have managed to conjure up partnerships with the game, but Jayawardene on 86, provided that the focal point being the efforts of Tillakaratne Dilshan on Saturday. Hinder beat the hosts' was excellent spell of John Hastings, who returned March 14 from his four acquisitions. Brett Lee also won a trio of victims.
After enduring a few thrilling moments, pink Jayawardene speeds, driving through the covers, then play a pitching wedge into the ground for easy boundaries. Two more shot sent the ball whistling Jayawardene again square foot and the point before Lee won a verdict against the IPN Dilshan with a delivery that would have broken his leg stump, but he has not won Jayawardene volley of shots.
White Steve O'Keefe used to solitude before replacing it with Johnson, as he did in the first game, and formulaic approach with Sri Lankans. Jayawardene punched an off-side field packed three times in a row before White posted an in-depth coverage.
O'Keefe was named to the aggression Fielding restrictions, and after a little quieter in the classification, the introduction of Smith is harvested Dinesh Chandimal stop. Thisa Perera, promoted ahead of Kumar Sangakkara, collecting a limited number of a misfield O'Keefe, before cutting the man Johnson third, Jayawardene 53, Dilshan appeared IPN was small. But Smith's appeal was denied, and the ball was drawn by six. At the time of placement Jayawardene seemed so necessary, that seemed to mock Fielders Australia and Sangakkara was soon joined in the attack.
Their stand was broken by 46 Hastings, which followed a row over first by enticing a miscalculation from Sangakkara. Jeevan Mendis do not last longer before handcuffs, and 123 for 5 Australia had snatched the upper hand. During his next, Hastings scattered pieces by Angelo Mathews, undermines the sleeves extra boost.
Dilruwan Perera miscued O'Keefe in the soil, where Smith had a wonderful diving catch forward, while Jayawardene stayed for more definitive. He was caught a bullet declared a non-ball for height, and took a boundary through the leg side before killing the third delivery.
The end of Lee, however, was destroyed by the concession of five wides in what would have been the last ball of the innings, and his biggest mistake was committed by the final margin of a happy match.
