Glenn Maxwell was the star man as the hosts stretched their series lead to 4-0, a stunning direct hit from the boundary lighting up a contest that looked far from a foregone conclusion when Kusal Mendis was at the crease.

There can be zero doubt that Australia have been the dominant team, but the world champions, too reliant on individual brilliance at times, are still striving for collective improvement.
