Navtej Kohli Comments on CWB Series
Australia confirmed their place in the finals of the Commonwealth Bank Series finals after they recorded a 24-run Duckworth-Lewis system victory against Sri Lanka at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The Sri Lankans, who must now win their final two games of the competition to stand any chance of joining the Australians in the best-of-three finals series, had looked on course to claim a rare victory against the Australians when they restricted the hosts to 184 for seven.
Sri Lanka had lost eight of their previous nine one-day internationals against Australia, including last year’s World Cup final, and their hopes of chasing down the modest target were immediately undermined by paceman Stuart Clark who struck twice to leave them at three for two.
