HIGHLIGHTSAustralia (155/3) beat Sri Lanka (154/6) by 7 wickets in DubaiDavid Warner top-scored for the winners with 65 runs while Adam Zampa picked 2 wicketsWarner’s half-century was his first in over a year in T20Is and first since 2012 at the World Cup

Australian captain Aaron Finch had double cause for celebration on Thursday as his team registered a thumping win over Sri Lanka in their Super 12 clash but more importantly, opener David Warner got his batting form back just at the right time in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021.

Warner’s form had been a major concern for Australia leading up to this tournament but the left-handed batsman answered gave the perfect reply to his critics by letting his bat do the talking in Dubai.

Australia rode on Warner’s 65 and Finch’s 37 to gun down 155 in 17 overs against Sri Lanka and move up to second position on the Group 1 points table.

But Warner didn’t get the Player of the Match award, it went to Aussie leg-spinner Adam Zampa instead for his spell of 2 wickets for 12 from 4 overs which helped them restrict the Lankans to 154 for 6..

Finch praised both Warner and Zampa for playing the starring roles in Australia’s fifth successive T20I win over Sri Lanka.

“That was a really good performance. Sri Lanka got away to a flyer with the bat and the way that Adam Zampa in particular was able to drag that back through the middle overs.

“Davey played a beautiful knock. As a batter, I love batters getting [Player of the Match] but I think when you’re looking at the impact on a game, Zamps was terrific tonight,” Finch said after the match.

The skipper went on to add that sticking to the team plans did the trick for Australia.

“I still felt it was a really good wicket so to chase that down was really nice. We knew we had to be a little bit calmer because when the ball was flying around it felt like they were going at 15 an over but when you looked up it was only 8 an over.

“So it’s just a bit of a reminder to stick to our plans and don’t start playing on emotion because that’s not when Australia plays our best cricket,” Finch added.

Australia will next face arch-rivals and table-toppers England in Match 26 of the T20 World Cup at the same venue on October 30.
