May 28 (CRICKETNMORE) - The winning feeling is back in Australian cricket and batsman Usman Khawaja knows their form is no fluke. Khawaja scored a fluent 89 as Australia continued their ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup preparations in positive fashion, downing Sri Lanka by five wickets at the Hampshire Bowl.

With a 3-2 series win in India also on their 2019 formbook, this upturn in performances has not come out of the blue.
