Australia's win against Sri Lanka was set up by a persistent bowling effort from Zampa, Cummins, and Starc, who wreaked havoc after Sri Lanka raced to 125 for no loss. Despite a promising start, Sri Lanka suffered a dramatic collapse, losing all their wickets for just 84 runs. Zampa stood out with 4 wickets, while Cummins and Starc took 2 each. Marsh set the tone by lofting the first ball for 4 over mid-off, and after Warner and Smith fell cheaply, he finished on 55 before being run out. Josh Inglis and Marnus Labuschagne then put the result beyond doubt with a stand of 77 off 86; though both fell before the finish line, Inglis notched a half-century. The finishing touches were added by Glenn Maxwell(31*) and Marcus Stoinis(20*). Australia then chased down Sri Lanka's 209 comfortably, securing a five-wicket victory. This win revitalised Australia's World Cup campaign, while Sri Lanka faces an uphill battle to make it to the semi-finals. Australia now takes on Pakistan on Friday Night in another must-win game!
