Under-19 World Cup wrap - Wellalage spins Sri Lanka to memorable win

Australia versus Sri Lanka, Basseterre, St Kitts Sri Lanka pulled off a shocking four-wicket prevail upon Australia as they pursued down a 176-run focus in 37 overs. Skipper Dunith Wellalage was the superstar on the day - getting 5 for 28 from his ten overs - as Australia went from being 61 for 2 at one phase to 112 for 6. Sri Lanka decided to bowl and despite the fact that Campbell Kellaway scored 50 years, the bowlers never permitted huge associations to prosper. Kellaway fell not long after Australia had crossed the 100-run mark and keeping in mind that William Salzmann and N Radhakrishnan contributed with 20s, there was no genuinely critical commitment. In the pursuit, Sri Lanka experienced an early wobble and were decreased to 49 for 4 preceding Wellalage got 50 years set things back on target. Anjala Bandara made 33 while Ranuda Somarathne stayed unbeaten on 32 to direct the side home. Brief scores: Australia 175 in 50 overs (Campbell Kellaway 54; Dunith Wellalage 5-28) lost to Sri Lanka 177/6 in 37 overs (Wellalage 52; Joshua Garner 2-21) by four wickets.
