Adam Zampa | Player of the Match: To be honest, I wasn't feeling great because I had a bit of a back spasm. Was playing through it the last couple of days. Today I felt better, bowled better today. (On coming out the attack at the end) I think it was the captain’s decision to get the off spinner against the lefties, and my back was also pretty sore. (On his performances so far) Personally, not at my best and last game particularly felt I could have been doing better. My job in this team is to take wickets in the middle order. Didn’t quite do that last game and put the pressure on the death bowlers. Today, I’ve been feeling better, but nice to come out on the winning side today. Took a while to get into the game, just got to keep that wicket taking attitude going, doesn’t matter if I leak some runs. (On the plans forward) I wish winning was that easy, we’ve got a big one against Pakistan in Bangalore next up. That’s going to be a tough one.

Kusal Mendis: Nissanka and Perera batted well. After that we struggled and got a low score. 290 or 300 would have been a good score. We couldn't rotate the strike much. Last two games we batted really well. Today the batters struggled. I have confidence in my batting unit. I think Madushanka bowled really well. He gave us two early wickets. We can field better. I hope Matheesha can recover quickly.

Pat Cummins: Nothing said much on the back of two losses. The energy on the field was great. They started very well. We bowled decently. We stayed at it. The bowlers hit the deck hard. I think high 300 was par on that. There is a lot of people watching this. Outside noise doesn't bother us a lot. All parts of the game came together today. We would want to keep it up.

Australia move to Bengaluru to play Pakistan on 20th October. Sri Lanka stay back and will play Netherlands on the 21st of this month. Pakistan would be hurting from their loss to India and Australia themselves were drubbed by India as well. Both teams wouldn't want to afford another loss. Sri Lanka on the other hand would want to open their account and Netherlands would be glad as well to do the same. The WC is still in the early stages. But a few exciting ones already have come our way. Today was one way traffic after the initial fight from Lanka. But more intriguing action is coming your way.

Mitch Marsh speaks to Star Sports: It was a really good day for us. We came into the game with a little bit of pressure after the slow start, but our experienced guys stood up today. We're away. I wouldn't say soul-searching but there was plenty of hurt [after the loss to South Africa]. Hopefully, that's a stepping stone for us in the right direction. Just making up for his [dad's] strike rate. I felt like I was batting well tonight and I probably got ahead of myself (on the run-out). The boys were calm and the way we finished it off was great. I actually went for one over, but I was shut down. We have a heap of options - three quicks, Zampa, Maxwell, Stoin and myself. He [Cummins] always has a calm demeanor. The way he bowled and his bowling changes were fantastic. Inglis is a fighter and loves a contest. He plays spin well and backs his skills. First of all, he has power and hopefully it's the start of a long career for him.

After suffering back-to-back losses in this World Cup, Australia get their campaign up and running with a victory over Sri Lanka in Lucknow. As for Sri Lanka, they slip to their third successive defeat in the tournament. Zampa and captain Cummins did the damage with the ball in the middle overs before Inglis and Labuschagne did the job with the bat in the middle overs in Australia's chase of 210. Marsh also contributed to the win, with 52 off 51 at the top.
