Pace bowler Nazmul Hossain has been ruled out of the ODI series against Sri Lanka starting tomorrow after failing to recover from a knee injury. Hossain twisted his left knee while bowling in the nets in Colombo on 20 March.

Australia have booked themselves a place in the ICC Women's World Cup following their nine-wicket win over Sri Lanka in their second Super Six match at the Cricket Club of India (CCI) today. Australian spinner Erin Osborne's impressive figures of 3-9 from 10 overs earned her player-of-the-match honours.

Megan Schutt (2-34) again got Australia's bowling attack off to a solid start, snaring the key wicket of opener Yasoda Mendis (0) in the fifth over. It was only a matter of overs before Schutt was involved in another wicket, taking a difficult catch to send Chamari Atapattu (10) packing, off the bowling of Julie Hunter (1-6). Deepika Rasangika (43) and Dilani Manodara (21) showed some resolve and steadied the Sri Lankan innings as they built a 49-run partnership before Schutt again made the breakthrough, claiming Rasangika's wicket thanks to a catch by Lisa Sthalekar. Osborne's spin proved invaluable for the Australian side as she cleaned up Sri Lanka's middle order, finishing with three wickets.

Stafanie Taylor underlined her enormous value with a career-best, fourth Women’s One-day International hundred to be the cornerstone of a commanding, 209-run victory for West Indies Women over Sri Lanka Women in the ICC Women’s World Cup today.

The 21-year-old Taylor collected 18 fours and two sixes in 171 from 137 balls, leading the Windies Women to their highest WODI total of 368 for eight from 50 overs in their crucial second match of the tournament at the Middle Income Group Ground.

Sri Lanka won the second and final T20 international against Australia to sweep the short series 2-0 in a thrilling last ball decider at the MCG last night. Needing a boundary off the last ball bowled by Thisara Perera, Australia were only able to manage a single as Sri Lanka won by 2 runs. It was a brave effort from the Aussie batsmen, who came into the last over needing 18 to win and managed to score 15.

Earlier in the day, Sri Lanka posted 161-4 from their 20 overs thanks largely to an unbeaten 61 from Mahela Jayawardene. The Sri Lankan test match skipper was given tremendous support late in the innings by Thisara Perera, who made a crucial 35 from 15 balls with the help of 3 fours and 2 sixes. The duo added an unbeaten 59 from a little over 4 overs to propel the Lankan score late in the innings.

The visiting Sri Lankans made it a disappointing Australia Day for the locals as they beat Australia by 5-wickets in the opening T20 match of the series at the Sydney Cricket Ground. An outstanding innings of 90 from just 62 balls from David Warner went in vain as a collective effort from the Sri Lankan batting unit saw them over the line with 7 balls to spare.

Batting first on winning the toss, Australia posted an under-par 137-3 in their 20 overs. The home side really struggled to get the ball away with the exception of Warner, who made two-thirds of his side's runs despite facing only half the number of balls.

An unbeaten century from Phil Hughes, his second of the series, helped Australia register a comfortable 32 run victory in the final ODI at Hobart to end the series with Sri Lanka level pegging at 2-2. Dropped down the order to no.3 for this game, Hughes came out to bat at 31-1 and stayed through till the very end, contributing 138 runs to help Australia post a competitive 247-5 in their 50 overs on a sluggish pitch at Hobart this morning. Sri Lanka started well in their chase, but lost 4 wickets for 20 runs in between the 12th and 21st overs to fall behind significantly in the run chase. A battling half-century from Angelo Mathews (67) helped the visitors make a game of it, but they were eventually bowled out for 215, with Moises Henriques and Xavier Doherty sharing 6 wickets between them.

There was some disappointing news for Australia at the toss this morning with an ankle injury ruling out the skipper Michael Clarke with George Bailey taking over once again. The toss went Sri Lanka's way, and they put the Aussies in, hoping to continue their trend of getting over the line chasing.

The Cricket Australia (CA) National Selection Panel (NSP) has today announced a 12-player squad for the two KFC T20 INTL matches against Sri Lanka to be played in Sydney and Melbourne across the Australia Day long weekend.

Commenting on the squad, National Selector John Inverarity said: “The NSP has named a talented and exciting squad of 12 players for the two KFC T20 INTL matches against Sri Lanka.
