Australia Claims Historic 2-0 Test Series Win in Sri Lanka

Australia achieved a historic 2-0 Test series victory over Sri Lanka, marking their first series win on Sri Lankan soil since 2011. Under the leadership of stand-in captain Steve Smith, who was also named Player of the Series, Australia showcased a well-executed strategy, highlighted by significant contributions from Alex Carey, who scored 156 runs in the second Test. The Australian bowlers, including spinners Matthew Kuhnemann and Nathan Lyon, were instrumental in restricting Sri Lanka, leading to an eight-wicket win in the final match. This series sweep is particularly noteworthy as it is Australia's first clean sweep in Asia since 2006. Sri Lanka's Dimuth Karunaratne concluded his career on a poignant note during this series.
