On this day Sri Lanka knocked out Australia out of the Champions Trophy 2013 and booked a semi final berth.
Mahela Jayawardene’s unbeaten 84 lifted Sri Lanka to a competitive total of 253 for eight. In reply, Australia, who needed to reach their target in 29.1 overs to make the last four, started brightly but fell apart until a last wicket stand of 41 between McKay and Doherty gave them some hope.
Sri Lanka 253 for 8 (Jayawardene 84*, Thirimanne 57, Johnson 3-48) beat Australia 233 (Voges 49, Kulasekara 3-42) by 20 runs.
