The Sri Lanka needed a win at all expenses and the Australia, too, and triumph big at that force on the Aussies prove to be a small too much and they lost the plot all through the chase, giving up wickets in a heap before a fine last-wicket stand took them earlier to the target, which they in due course fell short of by 20 runs and, in the practice, brought their Champions Trophy movement to an end and the target was a difficult one still under standard situation, although Australia had to do even more they were likely to chase down 254 in 29.1 overs in order to go all the way through to the next stage.
