Australia beats Sri Lanka easily

Nathan Lyon stared in the Test match with Sri Lanka taking nine wickets across the two innings. Australia managed to crush the side with 10 wickets in just three days in Galle. Nathan Lyon got some help from spinner Travis Head as well as they contained the other side during the low-scoring challenge at the Galle International Stadium and Sri Lanka went for 113runs in their subsequent innings.

Opener David Warner required four balls to seal the success, crushing a six off Ramesh Mendis for the triumph. Captain Dimuth Karunaratne's 23 was the most noteworthy count on Sri Lanka's sorry-looking scorecard, with each of the 10 batsmen excused by the spinners. Australia commander Pat Cummins was satisfied that they dominated troublesome circumstances to mold "an astounding success".
