The Sri Lankan team will take on Australia in the fourth T20I at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday to salvage some pride. The visitors have already conceded the five-match series to the hosts, who currently lead 3-0.
Aaron Finch and company completed a commanding win over the Tourists in the third T20I to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series. The Lankans desperately needed a win to keep the five-game series alive, but a disappointing performance allowed them to hand the series over to the hosts easily. After being asked to bat first, Sri Lanka struggled to hit 121/6 in the allotted 20 overs.
The Kangaroos got off to a shaky start, but Glenn Maxwell and Finch’s 50-run third-wicket partnership helped them come home in the 17th with six wickets to spare. The reigning T20 champions are very confident and will be looking to keep their hopes of a clean series alive, while Sri Lanka were unable to play as a unit, they would be looking to record their first win in the series. Here fans can get all the details on when, where and how to watch the AUS vs SL live stream match online and broadcast on TV.
