Australia's veteran wicketkeeper Matthew Wade (26 not out) handled the immense pressure of batting with the tail to secure victory with 13 balls to spare after the pace duo of Jhye Richardson (3/26) and Kane Richardson (4/30) restricted Sri Lanka to 124/9 in 20 overs.The final match of the T20I series will be played in Kandy on Saturday, which is effectively now a dead rubber. It will be followed by a five-match ODI series, starting on June 14 and ending on June 24.
