Sri Lanka won the first Test at Pallekele by 106 runs. GALLE (SRI LANKA) - Off-spinner Dilruwan Perera bagged six wickets to fashion Sri Lanka's historic series win over Australia Saturday as the world number one side suffered a humiliating 229-run loss inside three days in the second Test in Galle. But it was Herath's left-arm spin that did the early damage in a match dominated by Sri Lankan slow bowlers. Perera, who also took two wickets on Friday, then bowled Adam Voges for 28 to register his fourth five-wicket haul in 11 Test matches. Veteran spinner Rangana Herath set up the win for the hosts with his maiden Test hat-trick which helped dismiss Australia for a record low of 106 in their first innings.
