Aus Vs SL: Khawaja-Smith Unbeaten Centuries Powers Australia To 330/2
Galle Cricket Stadium: Australia dominated Day 1 of the first Test against Sri Lanka at the Galle Cricket Stadium on Wednesday as opener Usman Khawaja and stand-in skipper Steve Smith scored unbeaten centuries to take the visitors 330/2 at Stumps.
Khawaja (147 not out) and Smith (104 not out) stitched up a 195-run partnership to ensure Australia’s solid start to the series.
After winning the toss and opting to bat first, Travis Head (57) picked up where he left off from the Border Gavaskar Trophy series as he gave the visitors a scintillating start which included three boundaries in the opening over against Asitha Fernando. The left-handed batter did not stop there as he once again targeted Fernando by hitting him for two boundaries in the fifth over, whilst Khawaja also joined the party by scoring his first boundary of the game in the same over.
