Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja made a win for Australia against Sri Lanka during the World Cup, held in Southampton.
The world champions rested opener David Warner while former Australia skipper Steve Smith, also returning to the international scene following a year-long ban for his part in a ball-tampering scandal, batted in the nets.But Warner’s absence saw Khawaja open against Sri Lanka. Australia’s latest win followed previous warm-up successes against the West Indies and World Cup hosts England that built on an encouraging 3-2 series win in India.
He added: “They’re one of the best sides and we gave them a run for their money. Then we went to India, lost the first two matches and went on to win the series. We always had the confidence we could do that. Australia, who begin the defence of their title against outsiders Afghanistan in Bristol on Saturday, saw fast bowlers Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins get in the groove as they restricted Sri Lanka to a meagre 239 for eight.“We did not bat very well,” said Sri Lanka’s Kusal Mendis.
