Bracken inspires Australia win

Nathan Bracken’s five-wicket haul inspired Australia to a comfortable 128-run victory over an out-of-sorts Sri Lanka at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

The paceman earned career-best figures and claimed the crucial wickets of opener Sanath Jayasuriya and Kumar Sangakkara, who top-scored for the Sri Lankans with 42 and looked the main threat. He then helped skittle the lower order as the tourists managed just 125 off 31.3 overs chasing a target of 254.
