Australia Achieves Historic Test Victory in Galle

Australia recorded their largest Test victory on the subcontinent by defeating Sri Lanka by an innings and 242 runs in Galle, marking Sri Lanka's worst defeat in Test history. Usman Khawaja led the charge with a double century, supported by Steve Smith's 141 and Josh Inglis' debut century, as Australia declared at 6-654, their highest total in Asia. Matthew Kuhnemann, despite recovering from a thumb injury, was instrumental with a career-best 9-149 across two innings, aided by Nathan Lyon's seven wickets. Sri Lanka's batting collapsed, with only Dinesh Chandimal and Angelo Mathews offering some resistance. This resounding victory puts Australia ahead 1-0 in the series, further solidifying their dominance in the World Test Championship.
