Australia vs Srilanka 2nd T20 Cricket Match 2013

Sri Lanka downed Australia by five wickets to win the opening T20 international at the Sydney Olympic Stadium. Two towering sixes on consecutive balls from Sri Lanka's Thisara Perera sealed a comfortable win for the visitors, who have now beaten Australia in their last four T20s. The win was set up by some superb bowling from Sri Lankan pair Lasith Malinga and Nuwan Kulasekara, who earlier restricted the Australians to 137-3 from their 20 overs.

Australia brought batsman Aaron Finch back into the one-day squad unveiled on Friday for the first two internationals against the West Indies next month. David Hussey made way for Finch, paying the price for what the selectors said were "concerns" with the batting performance in the ODI series against Sri Lanka.
