7.49 pm Thanks Peter. A couple of things we can gloat about here at ESPNcricinfo. First, Gaurav Sundararaman points out that the Forecaster had the predicted score at 154 before a single ball was bowled! Credit then to the team that devised the whole thing. And Andrew Fidel Fernando with a mind-boggling stat. Against leg-spin in men's T20 World Cup history, Sri Lanka have the lowest average (14.43) at the poorest strike rate (106.24) of ALL TEAMS!

7.42 pm Australia probably feel like they have the upper hand after a burst of wickets in the middle overs tied up Sri Lanka. Shanaka didn't cover himself in glory with his go-slow upon his arrival either. A trio of 30s on the scorecard but nobody passed 35.

Mitchell Starc after the innings: "It's nice to have a couple come out nicely. There were a few partnerships there but we dragged them back nicely after the Powerplay. It's our first game here. A few guys have played in the IPL and they think it's an average score. We have the firepower in the sheds to track this down."

Two wickets apiece from Starc, Cummins and a splendid spell from Zampa. Stay with us for the chase when Debayan Sen will be back in the central commentary position.
