Australia's poor record of chasing sizeable totals on the sub-continent is stark. Their only successful Test run chase above 200 in the region was when they made 307 against Bangladesh in 2006 in Dhaka. It won't be a easy target to chase as the pitch is offering turn and Australian batting struggled against the Sri Lankan spin attack in the first innings as well.
The two left-armers did the job done in the first innings - Herath took 4-49 while Lakshan Sandakan on debut took 4-58.
