"Everyone had a method of scoring runs and all the bowlers did a brilliant job"- Australian captain Steve Smith after win vs Sri Lanka in 2nd Test 2025

At the post-match presentation, Australian skipper Steve Smith reflected on the win, saying:

"It was a really good series. We played really well from the outset. The batters adapted to the conditions. Everyone had a method of scoring runs and all the bowlers did a brilliant job. Mitchell Starc and the spinners did their job brilliantly. We came up with better plans and it's great to see how the batters played against some quality spin. We had a really good training camp in Dubai a week before the series."

He continued:

"Usman, Carey used the reverse sweep. Me and Marnus used their feet. We tried to be successful in our own ways. It's been really fun. We have got a great group. The guys have been exceptional. I enjoy captaining in subcontinent. Was fun few weeks to be honest. It was an important stand at that point. Alex played really well and put the pressure back on the bowlers. The partnership helped us get ahead in the game."

The two-match ODI series between Australia and Sri Lanka will commence on Wednesday (February 12) at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.
