Sri Lanka claimed a nail-biting last ball win against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 to seal the second T20I and claim a 2-0 series win.
After being put into bat, the Lankans posted 161 on the board, courtesy an unbeaten half-century from veteran http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DPMD-Jayawardene-c1397. Jeevan Mendis (25) and Thisara Perera (35) also provided appreciable support. Apart from Starc, all bowlers chipped in with
a wicket a piece, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Maxwell-c60189 remaining the most economical.
The Aussies were halted early on after openers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/George-Bailey-c1480 kept the team in the hunt, despite the match being reduced to 15 overs. Bailey fell in the last over but
consecutive boundaries from Maxwell kept the tie in the balance. However, with four needed off the last ball, Perera held his nerve to seal an emphatic 2-run win for his side.

The team has already http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Irfan-c76983 and Ehsan Adil in the squad but after closely analyzing the conditions, the management requested the selection committee to add two more pacers.
Ahmed last played for the national team in 2011 before being axed due to form and fitness. As for Rahat Ali, he is yet to represent the country in the longer version.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Moises-Henriques-c2021 was ruled out due to a finger injury.
"Moises will be unable to play or train for at least one week. His availability for state and international cricket will be determined as the injury http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 team physiotherapist Murray Ryan said on Saturday.
His replacement, Faulkner, has only represented the national team once, a solitary T20 against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 last year. The left-armer is expected to join the rest of the squad after featuring in the warm-up game in Canberra tomorrow against the tourists.
