LIVE: AUSTRALIA VS SRILANKA 5TH ODI
Australia XI: Warner (c), Finch, Khawaja, Bailey, Head, Wade (wk), Faulkner, Hastings, Starc, Zampa, Boland
Sri Lanka XI: Chandimal (c, wk), Tharanga (vc), Mendis, K Perera, Shanaka, Dhananjaya, Gunathilaka, D Perera, Pathirana, Aponso, Lakmal
Australia restricted Sri Lanka to 195 all out inside 41 overs in the fifth ODI against Sri Lanka in Kandy.
Mitchell Starc grabbed three wickets to continue his outstanding form while opener Danushka Gunathilaka top-scored with 39 for the home side after Dinesh Chandimal won the toss and opted to bat.
Gunathilaka and Dhananjaya de Silva (34) combined for Sri Lanka's most productive stand of the series, but James Faulkner broke the partnership on 72 and it was largely downhill from there for Chandimal's side.
There was a moment of concern for the Australians when, in the 28th over, Aaron Finch dove for a sharp chance at first slip and injured his right index finger in the process, leaving the field for the remainder of the innings.
Spinners Adam Zampa (2-43) and Travis Head (2-22) were also multiple wicket-takers for the Australians, though Head's second - that of Kusal Perera - was a controversial one, with the batsman appearing to get an inside edge before being adjudged lbw.
