Sri Lankan colts won their second successive match in ICC Under-19 World Cup as they defeated Australia by 4 wickets.

Left-arm spinner Dunith Wellalage took five wickets as Sri Lanka restricted Australia to 175 in a Group D match. He got ideal support from off-spinner Treveen Mathew's 2/32 and pacer Matheesa Pathirana 2 for 34 as Aussies struggled on a slow track.

Chasing 176 runs, Sri Lanka reached the target in 37 Overs. Wellalage came to rescue his team with the bat as well after the team was reduced to 49-4 in the 13th over. Wellalage was the highest scorer with 52 runs in 71 balls as Sri Lanka reached the target with 4 wickets remaining.
