Sri Lanka and Australia will face-off for one final time on this tour in the second T20I at Colombo and while the hosts will be eager to level the series they will, more importantly, want to give a fitting farewell to one of their titans, TiIlakaratne Dilshan.

Australia came out firing on all cylinders in the first T20I, amassing a world-record total of 263 in their 20 overs courtesy of Clen Maxwell's unbeaten 185. Fresh from the wounds of the 85-run defeat in that match, the hosts will have it all to play for.

Dilshan — one of the few remnants of Sri Lanka's 2014 World T20 winning team - has done it all for his country and will be looking to go out on a high, but his teammates will be well aware of the Aussies' destructive abilities and will have to counter aggressively if they want to give their former captain a fitting farewell.

In his 497th international match, Sri Lankan fans will be hoping that the 39-year-old can conjure something out of his heyday to give his side a win. Equally as much, they will be hoping that their bowlers can put the brakes on Australia, who have been blaz-ingthrough since a 3-0 whitewas in the Test series.

However, the odds seem stacked against the hosts, who have only won only three T2OIs out of the 15 which they have played in 2016.

Meanwhile, Australia will be hoping for another dominant showing to wrap up a clean sweep and complete their recovery after their abysmal performance in the Tests.
