The bowlers did a decent job in the 4th ODI, restricting Sri Lanka to 258 in 50 ove3rs. Mitchell Marsh took 2-29 in seven overs.

David Warner was the mainstay in the chase, scoring 99 but the others failed to stay with him. Pat Cummins scored a late 35 runs which almost took the Aussies home but they fell four runs short.

With the series gone the Aussies could make more changes. They have plenty of players missing and won’t want to risk injury to players like Josh Hazelwood and Pat Cummins.
