    Sri Lanka had lost all four of the previous four. Australia went down to bat first with the aim of whitewashing the Lankans in Melbourne. However, they lost two openers Finch and McDermott in the beginning and visitors started putting pressure on Aussies. However, Australia was overcoming that pressure with the bat of Inglis and Maxwell.

    Inglis came to the dressing room after beign set on crease. He was dismissed for 23 off Chamira's ball. Even then Aussie was under a lot of pressure. Stoinis tried to get down and relieve that pressure. However, his tiny stormy innings was ended during the team's 79 runs total. Maxwell also returned to Kumara during the same over.
