With the series already done and dusted, Australia will look to salvage some pride when they lock horns with Sri Lanka in the final ODI of the series on Friday in Colombo. The hosts have won three matches on the trot after a defeat in the first game to seal the fate of the series.
With the entire nation gripping with financial crisis, the cricketers have presented them some moments to enjoy in this series. Dasun Shanaka and Co. have played out of their skins to humble the Aussie side. They will hope to keep the momentum going and win the final game.
Australia, on the other hand, have had their moments in the series, but failed to seized on to them. Aaron Finch and Co. will hope to regroup themselves and come out all guns blazing to end the series on a high.
