Australian captain Aaron Finch won the toss and chose to field first against Sri Lanka in their second Twenty20 match in Colombo on Wednesday, hot on the heels of a thumping 10-wicket victory in the first contest.
Finch announced one change with Jhye Richardson replacing pacer Mitchell Starc against Dasun Shanaka’s Sri Lanka, who chose to field an unchanged team.
Australian openers David Warner and Finch smashed half-centuries to beat Sri Lanka in 14 overs on Tuesday after Josh Hazlewood’s spell restricted the hosts to 128 all out.
