Sri Lankan skipper Dasun Shanaka took a spectacular catch to dismiss Matthew Wade, diving forward at deep point to secure a key late wicket for his side. Wade slashed it flat and hard as Shanaka charged in from the sweeper cover position to throw himself full-extension towards the dipping ball and pouch it centimetres off the turf. Australia were restricted to 149/9 in the opening T20I and Sri Lanka are in a spot of bother at 26/2 after five overs into the reply.
Dasun Shanaka takes a hanger on the rope!
