#4 Kulasekara finds much-needed form
Nuwan Kulasekara is one of the most experienced fast bowlers Sri Lanka possess. The veteran is more than a handful in favourable conditions and can swing the ball either way.
He went wicketkeeping his first two overs and conceded 22 runs to a belligerent Michael Klinger. However, his 15th over cost just six runs and yielded the wicket of Travis Head. But Kulasekara had reserved his best for last.
Bowling the final over of the game, the seamer picked up three wickets and conceded just three runs to give Sri Lanka some momentum going into the chase. His scalps were Pat Cummins, Andrew Tye and Jhye Richardson.
