G'day sports fans,

Monday Motivation: I don't think I'll take the medal as the minute and a half of the race I actually won. I'll take it as the last decade of the hard slog I put in. - Steven Bradbury

🏏 Australia edged Sri Lanka in a dramatic super over to go 2-0 up in their five-match Twenty20 series in Sydney.

Second Twenty20 international, Sydney:

• Australia 164-6 (20 overs): Inglis 48; Chameera 2-30, Hasaranga 2-33

• Sri Lanka 164-8 (20 overs): Nissanka 73; Hazlewood 3-22

Hazlewood backed up his figures of 3-22 by conceding just five runs in the Super Over to quell any hope of a Sri Lanka win.

Marcus Stoinis hit the winning runs with three balls to spare after pace bowler Josh Hazlewood restricted Sri Lanka to five runs in their super over.

Steve Smith will be closely monitored over the coming days after suffering a concussion while trying to save a six.

💰 IPL Auction: Aaron Finch and Marnus Labuschagne have joined the other unsold Aussies in the IPL mega auction while WA-raised Singaporean Tim David went for a stunning $1.53m.

Of the Australian contingent, Josh Hazlewood became the most expensive player bought with a A$1.44m deal to join Royal Challengers Bangalore.
