"I think I literally got a heart attack while watching that match" - Twitter explodes as Sri Lanka register a series win over Australia in last-ball thriller 

Sri Lanka recorded a four-run win over Australia in the fourth ODI of the series at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on June 21 (Tuesday). The slender victory gave the Dasun Shanaka-led side an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.

Following their mammoth chase at the same venue a few days back, expectations were high from the island nation. Put in to bat by Australia, the spirited side stepped up after a shaky start by the openers. The hosts were reduced to 34-3 in the 10th over.

Charith Asalanka and Dhananjaya de Silva took on the onus to rebuild the innings. They put on a vital 101-run partnership for the fourth wicket after which the all-rounder departed for a well-made 60.

Asalanka continued to grind, registering his maiden ODI century as the rest of the batting unit collapsed around him. A slew of run-outs at the end of the innings meant that Sri Lanka were dismissed for 258 with an over to spare.

Unleashing their spin onslaught, the hosts were right in the game. Australia were on the receiving end of a heavy blow early on as skipper Aaron Finch departed for a duck.

The spinners ended up being the architects of the win after bowling 43 overs between them. David Warner put up a fight but fell one run short of a hundred. Meanwhile, cameos from Pat Cummins and Matthew Kuhnemann were in vain as the Aussies fell short.

Here are some of the reactions:

Sri Lanka win ODI home series vs Australia for first time since 1992

The young Sri Lankan side scripted history with their nail-biting win over the five-time ICC World Cup champions. The series win marks the island nation's first ODI home series win over the five-time champions in 30 years. In 1992, the Arjuna Ranatunga-led side recorded a 2-1 series win in a closely contested series.

Following a memorable win in the final T20I of the series, Sri Lanka seem to have turned a corner. They will look to do more of the same in the upcoming two-match Test series, which is part of the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.
