Pace star Megan Schutt equalled a record before opener Beth Mooney produced a steadying knock as Australia opened their T20 World Cup title defence with a six-wicket win over Sri Lanka. Schutt snared 3-12 off four overs to restrict Sri Lanka to 7-93 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the United Arab Emirates on Saturday. In reply, Australia slumped to 2-14 and then 3-35 as captain Alyssa Healy , Georgia Wareham and Ellyse Perry all departed.
