Sri Lanka won the fifth and final T20 Match at the MCG tonight, beating Australia by five wickets. Opener Kusal Mendis was named player of the match for his innings of 69, and putting on 83 runs for the fifth wicket with captain Dasun Shanaka.
The win ended Sri Lankaâs eight-match losing streak in T20 matches in Australia.
That means for this summer across all international competitions, the Australian menâs team won eight matches, drew one and lost one.

Are you referring to the Ashes and the T20 series in Australia? Because if so it would be 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss this summer.

The 2022 Womenâs Cricket Cup began today with an upset win to West Indies over host nation New Zealand by just three runs. Both teamâs openers (WIâs Hayley Matthews and NZâs Sophie Devine) scored centuries and both teams lost late wickets. It was Windies bowler Deandra Dottin who was the difference in the end. She bowled the 50th over of NZ run chase, took 2/2 and caused a runout.

I tuned into ABC NewsRadio when I woke up this morning and the first thing I heard was Jim Maxwell talking about the life and career of Shane Warne. I felt something was not right. Then I listened to 3AW news at 9am and heard that Warne had died from a heart attack while holidaying in Thailand.
(I went to bed very late at 1.30am so the news of Warneâs death must have come soon after that)
Really terrible news. Rod Marsh and Shane Warne, two absolute legends of Australian cricket, dead within the same day.
