Adelaide - AFP
Australia are determined to close out the Tri-series ODI finals against Sri Lanka, all-rounder David Hussey said on Monday.
The top-ranked Australians take a one-nil lead into Tuesday’s pivotal match in Adelaide in the best-of-three match finals after a too close for comfort 15-run victory in Sunday’s opening game in Brisbane.
Hussey said the Australians were desperate to kill off the finals series in consecutive matches.
“This is a chance to win a series - not all of us have actually won a series in Australia in one-day international cricket,” Hussey told reporters.
“So it’s very important we actually close out the series in a professional manner.”
