An injury-stricken Australia fell to their worst defeat in Asia on Friday, February 14, losing Sri Lanka by 174 runs. Without their entire first choice fast bowling group, could the Champions Trophy turn out to be Australia's worst outing ever in ICC tournaments?

The Champions Trophy is being revived after eight years with holders and hosts Pakistan playing New Zealand in the opening game of the ninth edition on Wednesday.

Australia lose by 147-run margin in final Champions Trophy warm-up as Sri Lanka take series 2-0. Kusal Mendis has scored his fifth century, and Dunith Wellalage has taken four wickets as Sri Lanka beat Australia by 174 runs in their second one-day international and sweep the series 2-0.
