Australia Legends failed to chase down the huge target set up by the Sri Lankan batters in the first match and lost the match by 38 runs. Now to get back on a winning track they will face Bangladesh Legends in the 11th match of the season at Indore on the 18th of September.

While bowling first against Sri Lanka Legends, Aussies’ bowlers failed to break the opening partnership as opponents put 208 runs on the board for the 1st wicket. Only Brett Lee could manage to pick up 1 wicket in his last over of the spell and the team conceded 218 runs in 20 overs.

Shane Watson and Cameroon White took the charge during the chase to score 76 runs for the 1st wicket in 7 overs. But despite that good start, only Nathan Reardon could manage to score a fiery 46 runs from 19 balls which were not enough to chase down the target. As a result, the Aussies lost the match by 38 runs.
