Team Australia under the Captain Ricky Ponting is set to leave their ICC World T20 2009 after their early exit from the tournament.
Australia lasted just four days in the tournament, only Scotland and Bangladesh exited earlier, losing first to West Indies by seven wickets and then by six to Sri Lanka at Trent Bridge on Monday night.
After the half-centuries posted by Tillekeratne Dilshan (53) and Kumar Sangakkara (55 not out) that helped the Sri Lanka go through to the Super Eights, Ponting said that they had moved in with high expectations.
The job was done with six balls to spare, after Ajantha Mendis (3-20) had helped to restrict Australia to only 159 for nine.
