Australian tail-enders give it away after doing all the hard work. McKay and Doherty (15 not out) had put on 41 runs for the last wicket.

A single by Doherty off Herath ensures Australia get to the 200-run mark. With 17 overs left, 54 more runs was an easy ask. Only if they had wickets. 

Herath is bowled out (10-0-48-2). Dilshan replaces him in the attack in the 37th over. He gives away four runs first up.

Australia 223 for nine after 38 overs.

Sri Lanka: 253-8 (50 overs)

Adam Voges, who is waging a lost battle here, gets his first boundary off Eranga, after having scored 39 off 56 balls before that. He gets his second after only two balls though, over midwicket off Malinga.

But now 29.1 overs are over, meaning Australia will no longer make it to the semis, even if they score an improbable win now. 

However, even that's not possible as Voges is dismissed for 49, caught by Eranga at long-on off Herath.

Australia 193 for nine after 31 overs.
