Sri Lanka Clinches Series Win Against Australia

Sri Lanka won the ODI series against Australia 0-2, with a 49-run victory in the first match where Charith Asalanka scored a century, leading to a total of 215. Despite Australia's weakened squad due to absences of key players like Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, they struggled against Sri Lanka's spinners, with Dunith Wellalage and Wanindu Hasaranga taking critical wickets. Maheesh Theekshana's effective bowling further dismantled Australia's chase. Fans reacted sarcastically on social media, highlighting Australia's inconsistency in bilateral series compared to ICC tournaments. Despite the series victory, Sri Lanka did not qualify for the upcoming Champions Trophy due to their performance in the 2023 ODI World Cup.
