Canberra: Glenn Maxwell slammed 39 off 25 balls as a dominant Australia thumped Sri Lanka by six wickets to win their third straight Twenty20 clash and seal the series in Canberra on Tuesday. “And it’s looking really good at the moment.” With Sri Lanka needing victory to keep the series alive, they struck 17 off the first two overs after being sent into bat. Part-time spinner Maxwell bagged the big wicket of Pathum Nissanka, who has been Sri Lanka’s best batsman this series, but it needed an outstanding diving catch from Sams to remove him for 16 and leave the visitors tottering at 42 for four after eight overs.
