Australia Poised for Historic 2-0 Series Sweep Over Sri Lanka in Galle

Dominant performances by Alex Carey, Steve Smith, and Matt Kuhnemann leave Australia needing just 75 runs to complete a rare subcontinent whitewash.

Alex Carey scored a career-best 156, becoming the first Australian wicketkeeper to surpass 150 runs in Asia, breaking Adam Gilchrist's record.
Steve Smith hit his fourth century in five Tests, tying Rahul Dravid's tally of 36 Test tons and setting new records for Australian batsmen in Asia.
Matt Kuhnemann emerged as the leading wicket-taker of the series with 16 dismissals, excelling despite recovering from a thumb injury prior to the series.
Retiring Sri Lankan opener Dimuth Karunaratne received a standing ovation after his final Test innings, closing his career with 7,222 runs in 100 matches.
Sri Lanka's hopes rested on Kusal Mendis, who scored a second-innings half-century, but Australia's spinners Nathan Lyon and Kuhnemann dismantled the hosts on a challenging Galle pitch.
