T20 World Cup: Nissanka scores century as Sri Lanka defeats Australia

Australia’s chances of advancing to the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup are nearly extinguished after an eight-wicket loss to Sri Lanka, where Pathum Nissanka scored an impressive unbeaten 100. Despite a strong start with openers Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh, who made 59 and 54 respectively, Australia collapsed to 181. Sri Lanka comfortably chased the target, leaving Australia needing Zimbabwe to lose their next matches to remain in contention. With key bowlers injured, Australia now faces a slim hope as they await Zimbabwe’s upcoming games.
