DAMBULLA, Sri Lanka: Australian medium-pacer John Hastings took six wickets to help bowl out Sri Lanka for 212 despite a half-century from Dhananjaya de Silva in the fourth one-day international in Dambulla Wednesday.
Sri Lanka, who trail the five-match ****** 2-1, suffered from a lack of partnerships as their innings ran out of steam. They folded on the last ball of the 50th over after electing to bat first.
Australia´s pace spearhead Mitchell Starc struck in the very first over to have debutant batsman Avishka Fernando trapped lbw for **ught.
Hastings, who recorded career-best figures of 6-45, soon got Kusal Mendis caught behind for one. The on-field umpire gave the batsman **t out before Australia successfully reviewed the decision.
Scott Boland, who replaced Josh Hazlewood in the Australian starting XI, joined the pace charge to dismiss previous match centurion Dinesh Chandimal -- caught behind to leave Sri Lanka reeling on 31 for three.
De Silva, who scored 76, and Mathews then started a rebuilding act, mixing caution and aggression against a persistent attack.
Mathews, who was badly shaken after being hit on the back of his helmet off a Boland bouncer, made a gritty 28 before retiring hurt with a calf injury that hampered his footwork and running between the wickets.
De Silva, whose maiden ODI half-century included nine boundaries, looked a little edgy after Mathews´ departure and soon departed after spooning a catch to mid-wicket off Hastings.
Australia´s spinners then got in on the act as Adam Zampa and Travis Head took two more wickets to land Sri Lanka in deeper trouble.
Left-handed all-rounder Sachith Pathirana scored a crucial 24-run cameo to help Sri Lanka pass the 200-run mark from a precarious 165 for seven.
Hastings´ double strike in the 48th over brought him his maiden five-wicket haul in ODIs.
A limping Mathews, who scored a gutsy 40, returned to bat in the 48th over to add some useful runs as the hosts struggled to draw level in the ******.
