Australia captain Tim Paine won the toss and opted to bat against an injury-hit Sri Lanka in the second and final Test on Friday. On a chilly and overcast morning at the Manuka Oval, which is making its debut as a Test centre, Paine finally had some luck with the coin toss, winning only the second time in nine Tests he had led Australia in. Australia, who lead the series 1-0 after their win in Brisbane by an innings and 40 runs, went in with an unchanged team hoping to bag their first series in over 12 months.
