Sri Lanka v Australia, first Twenty20 Pallekele

Sri Lanka 198 for 3 (Dilshan 104 *) beat Australia 163 for 8 (Warner 52, Dilruwan 3.26) by 35 runs

Sri Lanka captain Tillakaratne Dilshan hit a century to convince mobilized his team well in the field to ensure victory of 35 crushed Australia in the first international Twenty20 in Kandy.

BAT Pallekele sent to International Cricket Stadium, hosted on the road a total of about 150 before Dilshan (104, 57 balls, 12 fours, five sixes) and Jeevan Mendis versatile (29, 19 balls) combined for a stand of 104 runs in only 45 balls to lift the hosts to 198 for the third Dilshan hammered 67 of his last 23 deliveries, a sequence that effectively decided the match.

Australians' Chase apartment was empty offspin debutant Dilruwan Perera (3-26), who provided a reminder were a lot of depth in the slow bowling Sri Lankans and limited leverage over the whole series of tests done by August and September. Rangana Herath (1-11) also raised a lot of problems, so much as he made his debut against the Australians on their 1999 visit to the island.

Dilshan was the kind of opening of the Captain wants to do, which offers ample evidence of the Australians against aggressive opponents on this tour. They will also focus more on the field of Fielding, the fumbles are a recurring theme in the first team from the international limited-overs series in Bangladesh in April.

Mitchell Johnson, Shane Watson and John Hastings had been taken by more than 11 passages for more, while curiously around Steve O'Keefe and Steve Smith has not been used, despite offering a higher level of economic development all men faster.

Unlike the Sri Lankans employed three spin bowlers in their defense of the goal and for no other truth than the belligerent David Warner (53) never looked comfortable enough to impose pressure on the attack at home.

Need 10 runs to over virtually from the outset, Australia has the answer was to spend time with the first step Nuwa Kulasekara (2-39), which has found its way through Watson in more than one third. Warner was about to find the limit, and once it is established that a line drive over the bowler's head.

Shaun Marsh was less firm, and misread the first beginner course Perera IPN to be four. David Hussey proved lucky person on the ground was well aware of a seemingly thin edge behind off the bowling of Dhammika Prasad, but the next it was not near a strong break out Perera, who pays strain of the medium.

Cameron White managed only a limit, before he too disappeared Perera offbreak that straightened around the wicket, Australia, 63-4, and Chase was looking for a clearly ill. It declined even further when Steve Smith was completely confused and disoriented Herath, when Dilshan was the luxury of falling Warner then able to accept a second chance. O'Keefe and Johnson, if the portion of value, but then the equation would be too steep for Dilshan.

Brett Lee had shared the new ball with left arm spinner O'Keefe in a nod to a surface that offered some jumps, but also fight. Mahela Jayawardene managed a couple of clear limits to the point on the long back, but in the third on a sprayed Lee Yorker in his stumps.

Dilshan immediately took the attack to Lee, after a sharp upper hook for six years with a clever slide into the gully for four, meaning that more than 14 points and a door. He tried to scare Johnson with a series of rude gestures. Dinesh Chandimal also made a good start, but at 11 was precipitated on the wrong foot in time of Johnson and slid ungracefully in his office - only the fifth dismissal T20 Internationals, rarity is emphasized by the reaction of the upset pitcher.

Tensions were evident between Dilshan and Watson, shooting for a return throw to the Australian batsman, who defended the gap with a glove. A call for Australians curious question on obstruction, the laws of the game have changed to remove any battery enclosure, but the umpires that gap.

Kumar Sangakkara cracked limits on the leg mid-off and the place to raise a stand 50 with Dilshan, but the next course, he deflected a ball ineffective Watson delivered a slow and simple making of Cameron White. Mendis announced himself with a reverse-swept frontier bowling of Smith then gave a passing impression of no less a left-hander Sangakkara as a pull shot of some flowers when Watson fell a little short.

John Hastings slower balls lost their novelty, and Dilshan took a heavy swinging three times for legside boundaries on either side of a cheeky reverse DAB unusually short third man last - they were worth the 20th

Dilshan Mendis and acquisitions tormented the Australians closing piled 67 runs from 15 to 18 overs turn a mediocre in a disappointing total. Too often, tourism players Yorker lost length, and when they did strike, Dilshan wrists were flexible enough to send the ball through gully to the zip line.

It is 84 when the final started, Dilshan broke a pair of six, then won the wrong line to go to three digits, before adding the new Sri Lanka for the top 200 - in all, were not designed for '94-3 bowlers and batsmen Australia, is a task ahead of them.
