80.6 Zanden Jeh to Pavan Rathnayake
FOUR! Zanden Jeh to Pavan Rathnayake. Length ball, driving, Played past long on for 4 runs. On the final day here in Darwin, Australia A were hoping for early wickets to try and force a result. However, that was not the case, with some quality batting from Sri Lanka A in good batting conditions making their job difficult. The pick of the batsmen was Fernando, who finished on a brilliant 104 not out. This meant that no result was possible and the match finished as a draw. It is still all to play for with the series remaining level at 0-0, with the decider starting on Sunday.
