Adam Gilchrist scored exactly half of Australia's inning of 236. He hit 118 runs in 132 balls with 9 fours and 3 sixes. Gilchrist got little support from his team-mates, however, as Sri Lanka struck twice at the start and in a cluster towards the end to bowl Australia out in 49.4 overs, led by Lasith Malinga.
