Australia comfortably beat Sri Lanka by nine wickets in the second Test in Galle, taking the series 2-0. Requiring only 75 runs to win, Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, and Marnus Labuschagne knocked off the runs inside 18 overs.

Sri Lanka's batting effort was wrapped up in less than six overs on Day 4. Nathan Lyon and Matthew Kuhnemann picked up four-wicket hauls in the second innings.

In reply, Nishan Peiris got the new ball to spin and skid, bamboozling Head early on. However, Head and Khawaja went through with their shots, scoring the winning runs off Dimuth Karunaratne.

Brief Scores:

  • Sri Lanka: 257 and 231 (Angelo Mathews 76, Kusal Mendis 50; Matthew Kuhnemann 4-63, Nathan Lyon 4-84)
  • Australia: 414 (Alex Carey 156, Steve Smith 131; Prabath Jayasuriya 5-151) & 75/1 (Usman Khawaja 27*, Marnus Labuschagne 26*; Prabath Jayasuriya 1-20)
