Australia have received a boost to their T20 World Cup hopes while hosts Sri Lanka will have to cope with the loss through injury of their key spinner Wanindu Hasaranga.
The 28-year-old Hasaranga, one of the most prolific wicket-takers in the T20 Games, was ruled out of the rest of the tournament on Tuesday because of a hamstring proble, the International Cricket Council confirmed on Tuesday.
Hasaranga had an MRI scan on Monday that showed up a serious left-hamstring tear.
