Australia will be a little relieved now. This could have been a no ball as well but it dipped enough and Pathum Nissanka will have to depart. A fine knock comes to an end. Sri Lanka would be very proud of him no matter what the outcomes of this match comes. 12 needed from 3 balls. The umpires also tells Maheesh Theekshana the new man in that the batters did cross but not before the catch was taken, so he will be on strike.

Maheesh Theekshana smacks it to deep mid-wicket. Steven Smith leaps and flicks the ball in. He injuries himself trying to do so. He touched the ropes on it's way back so the umpire rules it as a maximum after getting the confirmation. But credit to Steven Smith for pulling off such an effort. He walks off the field as he gets attended by the physios. 

Touch fuller, outside off, on the tramline. Maheesh Theekshana reaches out for it and has a slash but misses. The batters take a bye. Matthew Wade throws the ball to Marcus Stoinis and he has a shy at his end but misses. Had that hit, it would have been curtains for Maheesh Theekshana. 5 needed from the last ball. Are we in for a Super Over? Also, on the replay it looks to be beyond the tramline. Have the Lankans been dealt a blow here with that ball not being called a wide?

FOUR! Yes, we are indeed! Super over it is! Marcus Stoinis bowls a poor delivery, a full toss, outside off. Dushmantha Chameera walks down the pitch and smacks it over the bowler's head for a boundary. The match is tied and it will be decided via a Super Over now. Well, well, well. Just imagine, had the previous ball been called a wide, this match would have been dusted and we would be going to Canberra 1-1.
