Sri Lanka completed a commanding 3–0 series whitewash over Australia with a thumping 70-run victory in the third and final match, delivering one of their most authoritative T10 performances in recent times. The hosts combined explosive batting with disciplined bowling to outclass Australia once again and close the series in emphatic fashion.

Batting first, Sri Lanka produced a batting masterclass, piling up 184 for 4 in their allotted 10 overs. The innings was defined by a breathtaking assault from Bhanuka Rajapaksa, who remained unbeaten on 72 off just 18 balls, striking the ball with incredible power and timing. His innings, played at a strike rate of 400, completely shifted the momentum and left Australia’s bowlers searching for answers.

Earlier in the innings, Dinesh Chandimal set the platform with a fluent 57 off 23 balls, while Kusal Mendis added instant impact with a rapid 29 from 9 deliveries. Even after a brief middle-order wobble, Rajapaksa’s late onslaught ensured Sri Lanka finished with a total that was always going to challenge Australia.

In reply, Australia never truly recovered from the pressure of the chase. Despite David Warner’s 32 off 17 balls and a late cameo from *Tim David (27 off 11)**, wickets fell regularly and the required run rate continued to climb. Sri Lanka’s bowlers executed their plans smartly, keeping the Australian lineup under constant pressure.

Wanindu Hasaranga was the standout with the ball, claiming 3 wickets for 19 runs, while support came from Lahiru Kumara, Asitha Fernando, and Angelo Mathews, who collectively ensured Australia were restricted to 114 for 7.

The result not only sealed a convincing match win but also confirmed Sri Lanka’s clean 3–0 sweep of the series, underlining their dominance across all departments. With explosive batting, sharp bowling, and consistent performances throughout the series, Sri Lanka sent a strong statement of intent and wrapped up the tour on a resounding high.
