Sri Lanka look to wrap up surprise victory in third Test

Sri Lanka, who shocked Australia in the first Test and then fought back to draw the second, will look to wrap up a surprise series victory when the third and final Test begins in Galle on Saturday.

The tourists, who have not won a Test series in Australia since 2016, will be confident of completing a famous triumph after dominating the second Test in Melbourne.

Sri Lanka's victory in the first Test was one of the most famous in their history, and they will be looking to repeat that performance in Galle. The tourists will be without their captain Dimuth Karunaratne, who is injured, but they will be boosted by the return of Kusal Mendis, who missed the second Test with a hamstring injury.

Australia, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing performance in Melbourne. The hosts were outplayed in all departments, and they will need to improve significantly if they are to avoid a series defeat.

The third and final Test will be played at the Galle International Stadium, which is one of the most challenging venues in the world for batsmen. The pitch is slow and turning, and it will be difficult for both teams to score runs.

Sri Lanka will be confident of victory, but Australia will be determined to avoid a series defeat. The third Test is likely to be a close and exciting contest.
