Carey, alongside Marnus Labuschagne, reclaimed Australia's unassuming pursue they were themselves diminished to 50/4 on a wicket not exceptionally helpful for stroke-play. Maheesh Theekshana took only three balls to leave a mark on Australia's pursuit when he gave their chief a duck prior to getting Josh Inglis edged one to leg-slip. In the middle between was a shocker of a plunging take from Danushka Gunathilaka that cut off David Warner's visit on 10 and provided Dunith Wellalage with the first of this three wickets on the day.

From 35/3 after powerplay, Sri Lanka slithered their far beyond 50 in the fifteenth over however a sad series of occasions brought further wretchedness. First was a terrible misunderstanding in the center, where after being declined a second run by Mendis, Asalanka was run out at the non-striker's end. On the exceptionally next ball, Mendis returned to pull a more limited one from Maxwell yet ventured onto his stumps rather to be excused hit-wicket on a 40-ball 26. Kuhnemann made an already difficult situation even worse on the opposite side of the beverages break. Dunith Wellalge, having opened his record with a limit, gave the spinner the charge however miscued and neglected to clear Cummins at mid-on.

He held post commendably, including playing out two lady overs from Kuhnemann as his accomplice began squeezing the ones and twos. Karunaratne raised his lady ODI fifty with the second of the two draw shots off Cummins in the 10-run 38th over. Having previously endure two LBW references from Australia prior, he found a hobby on 60 and made the guests pay by smacking sixes consecutive off Labuschagne conveyances before eventually being the last man excused.
