Australia in finals of CB series

Australia, the world champions have easily secured a berth in the finals of the CB series with a win over Sri lanka in the group match. The task has been cut out for SriLanka who needs to win all of its remaining matches to find a place in the final. Meanwhile, India needed to win only 1 match to fight with the Aussies in the best of three finals.

Australia was restricted by Sri Lanka to 184 for 7 despite some sensible batting from vice captain Clarke and Mr. Cricket Hussey who guided their team to a respectable total. In reply. the Lankans could not pace their innings and also lost wickets which proved costly when rain interrupted the match. Australia won by the D-L method.
