Cricket Australia

The 4th ODI between Australia vs Sri Lanka will be played at Hambantota on August 20, 2011. Match start time 14: 30 local time, 9:00 GMT. See live score.

After three matches the series is now in favour of Australia 2-1. This is a very important match for both the teams, with Australia looking to win the match and the series, while Sri Lanka will look to level the series. Watch live streaming.

Kumar Sangakkara will play his 300th ODI tomorow and he is the sixth Sri Lankan to reach the milestone and Upul Tharanga needs one more century to equal the record for most ODI hundreds in 2011 for Sri Lanka.

The Hambantota pitch did not offer as much support to the spinners as they have been expected, but the ball is expected  to turn in Colombo.

Lasith Malinga’s five-wicket haul in the 3rd ODI was overshadowed by Upul Tharanga’s century, but his batting was just as impressive. Malinga was at his best on Tuesday, fast, accurate, and gets late swing that means a batsman cannot afford to play easily.

The highlights videos will be uploaded here after the match is over, so do come back here.
