Thu Feb 06 12:00:55 UTC 2025: ## Australia Bowl Out Sri Lanka, Starc Takes Three Wickets

**Colombo, Sri Lanka** – Australia secured a convincing victory over Sri Lanka today, bowling out their opponents for a relatively low score. Kusal Mendis (59 runs, 107 balls) was the top scorer for Sri Lanka, providing a lone bastion of resistance against a disciplined Australian bowling attack. His innings included several well-timed boundaries, showcasing his skill under pressure.

However, Mendis’s efforts were insufficient to prevent a Sri Lankan collapse. Mitchell Starc proved particularly devastating, taking three crucial wickets, including a double strike in quick succession that shattered Sri Lanka’s hopes of a significant total. Matthew Kuhnemann also contributed significantly, claiming two wickets. Nathan Lyon added another three to the Australian tally.

The Sri Lankan lower middle-order offered little resistance after Mendis’ dismissal, with several batsmen failing to make a substantial impact. The final Sri Lankan wickets fell in a flurry, highlighting the effectiveness of Australia’s bowling strategy. The precise final score for Sri Lanka was not explicitly provided in the live score updates.
