Australia crushed Sri Lanka by 6 wickets in fourth T20I

Glenn Maxwell and Josh Inglis starred as Australia sealed a four-wicket win to crush Sri Lanka's hopes of breaking a duck in the T20I series and went up 4-0 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday.

Notably, Australia won the first game against Sri Lanka by 20 runs and the second in a Super Over in Sydney on Sunday after the scores were level at the end of the regulation overs. Australia won the third game by six wickets on Tuesday in Canberra.

Chasing 140, Australia suffered some early jitters before the middle order steadied the ship, cruising to 143/4 with 11



balls to spare courtesy of a 20-ball 40 by Josh Inglis. Bowling with clever variations of pace, Lahiru Kumara (2-22) took the wickets of unconvincing opener Ashton Agar (26 off 31 balls) and captain Aaron Finch (two), who increased his run of scores without a half-century to 12.

Inglis, who struck the only two sixes of the innings, partnered Glenn Maxwell (48 not out) at the crease with the side at 49-3 in the ninth over and the duo put on a carefree 71 runs together to put the result beyond doubt.

"It looked like (Inglis) was batting on a different wicket," said Maxwell.
